|---|---|
| CPU/OS | Linux x86-64 host |
| Docker | Engine ≥ 24.x |
| Compose | v2 plugin (docker compose version) |

Quickstart notes
- Quickstart is intended for end users who want to get GigHive running with the least setup friction.
- You do not need Ansible or Terraform for the quickstart path.
- The quickstart bundle includes the application stack and starts it with Docker Compose.
- A self-signed certificate is used by default, so your browser will show a security warning until you replace it with a trusted cert.

🔎 App-specific notes
- GigHive supports authenticated viewer, uploader, and admin roles.
- Default installs will include sample media, depending on the install path and configuration.
- Media library size strongly affects disk requirements.
- If you plan to expose GigHive publicly, you should also plan for trusted TLS certificates, DNS, and firewall configuration.
