FMHY

Appearance

Selfhosting ​

This guide will help you set up and run your own instance of FMHY locally.

WARNING

Do note that you must differentiate your instance from the official site (fmhy.net) to avoid confusion. Steps to do so are given below.

Prerequisites ​

Docker (Experimental) ​

You will need to install Docker and Docker Compose run your own instance of FMHY locally.

After installing Docker and Docker Compose, run the following commands:

bash
git clone https://github.com/fmhy/edit.git
cd edit
sudo docker compose up --build

It should take a few minutes to build the image and start the container, running at port 4173.

Manually ​

Step 1: Clone the Repository ​

bash
git clone https://github.com/fmhy/edit.git
cd edit

Step 2: Install Dependencies ​

Install project dependencies using pnpm:

bash
pnpm install

Step 3: Development Mode ​

To run the project in development mode:

bash
# Start the documentation site in dev mode
pnpm docs:dev

# Start the API in dev mode (if needed)
pnpm api:dev

The development server will start at http://localhost:5173 by default.

Step 4: Building for Production ​

You will need to update:

  • the meta constant in docs/.vitepress/constants.ts
    • name: Name of your instance
    • hostname: Your domain
    • description: Description of your instance
    • tags: Opengraph tags
    • build: Build options (can be configured with Environment Variables)
  • docs/index.md
    • title
    • description
    • hero.name
    • hero.tagline

To build the project for production:

bash
# Build the documentation site
pnpm docs:build

# Build the API (if needed) using the Node.js preset
NITRO_PRESET=node pnpm api:build

Step 5: Preview Production Build ​

To preview the production build locally:

bash
# Preview the documentation site
pnpm docs:preview

# Preview the API (if needed)
pnpm api:preview

Step 6: Deploy ​

See the VitePress deployment guide for more information.

Environment Variables ​

You may want to disable NSFW content (sidebar entry, page contents) and/or the API component for Feedback:

  • FMHY_BUILD_NSFW - Disables NSFW content (experimental)
  • FMHY_BUILD_API - Disables the API component

Troubleshooting ​

  1. If you encounter Node.js version issues, ensure you're using Node.js 21+
  2. For pnpm-related issues, make sure you're using pnpm 9+
  3. Clear the cache if you encounter build issues:
    bash
    rm -rf docs/.vitepress/cache
rm -rf docs/.vitepress/dist
pnpm install
