Getting started

Usage

doccano has two options to run:

(Recommended) Docker Compose
Docker

The usage of docker compose version is explained in the README.md. We highly recommend that you should use docker compose version. However, we explain the usage of Docker version and Python/Node version for the additional information.

Docker

As a one-time setup, create a Docker container for Doccano:

docker pull doccano/doccano
docker container create --name doccano \
  -e "ADMIN_USERNAME=admin" \
  -e "ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@example.com" \
  -e "ADMIN_PASSWORD=password" \
  -p 8000:8000 doccano/doccano

Next, start Doccano by running the container:

docker container start doccano

To stop the container, run docker container stop doccano -t 5. All data created in the container will persist across restarts.
