Self Hosting Bluesky PDS with Docker-Compose and Traefik
Update 11/26/2024: Added PDS_DATA_DIRECTORY
environment variable to compose.yml. The installer.sh
script in the pds repo unusually aliases PDS_DATADIR
to this for actually binding the volume.
(This assumes you have a running traefik instance, and working domain/dns)
docker-compose.yml
services:
pds:
container_name: pds
image: ghcr.io/bluesky-social/pds:0.4
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:

traefik.http.routers.bluesky-pds.tls.certresolver: letsencrypttls
traefik.http.services.bluesky-pds.loadbalancer.server.port: 3000
environment:

networks:
proxy:
external: true
next run the following to generate an invite:
curl --request POST \
--url https://example.com/xrpc/com.atproto.server.createInviteCode \
--header 'Authorization: Basic <token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"useCount": 1
}'
Then you should be able to sign up on https://bsky.app with your $PDS_HOSTNAME as the hosting provider.
