# Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GNU social is intended to be easily installable in both a shared hosting environment or a private
|
||
|
|
host with shell access, or just with PHP execution.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you need help, contact us on IRC on the `#social` room in freenode or XMPP at [xmpp:gnusocial@conference.bka.li](xmpp:gnusocial@conference.bka.li)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The recommended way of installing is to use [Docker](https://www.docker.com/), as this simplifies
|
||
|
|
configuration. GNU social is comprised of a variety of different services, such as a webserver, a
|
||
|
|
PHP execution environment, a database, etc. You may choose to use all, some, or none of these
|
||
|
|
services in Docker containers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pick one of the following installation methods:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [Instal with Docker with shell access](./install/docker_shell.md)
|
||
|
|
- [Instal without Docker with shell access](./install/no_docker_shell.md)
|
||
|
|
- [Instal with Docker with web access](./install/docker_web.md) (requires access to PHP's `system()`, which may be disabled)
|
||
|
|
- [Instal without Docker with only web access](./install/no_docker_web.md)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Installation with Docker without shell access, such as in some shared hosting environments is
|
||
|
|
possible by configuring social locally and copying the files over, however this is not a supported
|
||
|
|
configuration.
