Install MyDrive on your server
You can choose to install the app from the source, or using Docker which is easier as it requires few steps and less configuration
MyDrive has built in Docker support, there are two options when using Docker, users can either use the Docker image that has MongoDB built in, or use the Docker image that just has the MyDrive image (If you're using a service like Atlas).
Create the Docker environment variables by running the npm run setup'command as seen in the installation section. Or by manually creating the file (e.g. docker-variables.env on the root of the project, see the environment section for more information).
Docker with MongoDB image:
docker-compose build
Docker without MongoDB image:
docker-compose -f docker-compose-no-mongo.yml build
Start the Docker Image:
docker-compose up -d
