Run Multibox locally

This quickstart guide explains how to run Multibox locally using docker compose. You will learn how to obtain a free short-term license and set up Multibox.

Get a license

Contact HealthSamurai and get a Multibox license. It is a long string like

eyJhbGciOiJ...

This string is your license key.

Install Docker and Docker Compose

Follow the official Docker guide to install Docker and Docker Compose.

Get docker compose

Follow the Getting Started Aidbox guide to get the recommended docker-compose.yamlfile.

Run Aidbox locally

Change aidbox to multibox

Change image name from aidboxone to multibox like this:

docker-compose.yaml

image: healthsamurai/multibox:edge

Create .env file

To start Multibox needs additional environment variables. Pass the following:

docker-compose.yaml

    environment:
      AIDBOX_LICENSE: <your-license-key>
      AIDBOX_CLUSTER_SECRET: 'secret'
      AIDBOX_CLUSTER_DOMAIN: '127.0.0.1.nip.io'
      AIDBOX_SUPERUSER: 'admin:secret'
      AIDBOX_BASE_URL: 'http://127.0.0.1.nip.io:8080'

Insert your license key into the environment file. Change the line

AIDBOX_LICENSE=<your-license-key>

where <your-license-key> is a license key.

Launch Multibox

Start Multibox with Docker Compose

docker compose up --force-recreate

This command will download and start Multibox and its dependencies. This can take a few minutes.

Go to the Multibox UI

Open http://127.0.0.1.nip.io:8080.

You'll see Multibox login page. Sign in using the credentials specified in the AIDBOX_SUPERUSER variable (admin/secret).

Now you are ready to use Multibox.
