This guide is synthesized from Domoticz's own official documentation, linked above — always cross-check exact package/version names there before running these commands on a production server, since distro and project versions move over time.

  1. 1Create a project directory

    mkdir -p /opt/domoticz
    cd /opt/domoticz

  2. 2Create docker-compose.yml

    Define the domoticz service using the official image, mapping port 8080 and persisting userdata.

  3. 3Start Domoticz

    docker compose up -d

  4. 4First login

    Open the web UI to run through initial setup.

    Default access: http://<host-ip>:8080 (add an 8443:443 port mapping for HTTPS).
