Self-hosting Lilac

By self-hosting, you can keep your data on-prem.

Run via command line

By default, Lilac runs on port 5432.

pip install lilac[all]
lilac start /data

Run via Docker

Build the image after cloning the repo:

git clone https://github.com/lilacai/lilac.git
docker build -t lilac .

The container runs on the virtual port 80, this command maps it to the host machine port 5432.

If you have an existing lilac project, mount it and set the LILAC_PROJECT_DIR environment variable:

docker run -it \
  -p 5432:80 \
  --volume /host/path/to/data:/data \
  -e LILAC_PROJECT_DIR="/data" \
  lilac
