UPDATE: this thread was regarding Speckle 1.0. To learn how to deploy a Speckle 2.0 server (either using Digital Ocean or manually) check out the docs here!
Please note: this is a quite insecure way of deploying the speckle server. It is, nevertheless, fast and gives a quick satisfaction :) You can follow this tutorial for a local install just as well; just skip to part 3 (install mongo).
This post needs some serious updating!
Deployed one yesterday with docker - much easier!
What troubles (if any) were there Matthew? Or was it really just a matter of actually following the instructions in the repo? Would be surprised!
Hi,
This looks like a gorgeous project so Iām giving it a try. I installed SpeckleServer on a Debian Sid machine, and I did the following steps, might be useful to someone else:
sudo apt-get install mongodb redis
sudo systemctl disable mongodb and sudo systemctl disable redis-server
git clone https://github.com/speckleworks/SpeckleServer.git
url: process.env.MONGODB_URI || process.env.MONGO_URI || 'mongodb://localhost:27017/speckle' and the redis url line: url: process.env.REDIS_URL || 'redis://localhost:6379'
sudo systemctl stop mongodb and sudo systemctl stop redis-server
mongodb --dbpath /path/to/some/folder (create a folder somewhere to store the db)redis-server
node server.js
Any problem, test the mongodb connection by running mongo and the redis server by running redis-cli
@yorik, nice - thanks for the detailed instructions! if you feel brave enough, you can do a pr with those lines for the readme of the server repo, would be good reference for future self-hosting astronauts! ( SpeckleServer/readme.md at master Ā· speckleworks/SpeckleServer Ā· GitHub)
I am brave enough 
Will do!
Iāll have more questions soon, will join the slack channelā¦
quick and maybe uncomplete howto install speckle on windows 10.
How to install speckle server on windows 10:
https://nodejs.org/en/download/ - windows installer (.msi) 64-bithttps://github.com/MicrosoftArchive/redis/releases - Redis-x64-3.2.100.msi
https://www.mongodb.com/download-center?jmp=nav#community - for Windows 64-bit x64https://desktop.github.com/
https://github.com/speckleworks/SpeckleServer.git and remember the local path / change it to somewhere simple.Thanks @Ionut_Anton for the quick to-do guide.
So IT department decided to help setting up a windows 10 server.
After installation is complete the server returns this:
TypeError: JwtStrategy requires a secret or key
My knowledge about setting up servers is very limited, so any pointers would be helpfull.
Thanks

Hi @martinromby,
my guess itās a speckle.server error not related to a windows deployment.
from what i can figure itās a passpoert error related to an env (environment) variable not set.
did you make a copy of the .env-base file, rename it to .env and modify it with your settings?
Hope it helps.
Hi @Ionut_Anton
Thank you for your quick reply.
It looks like the env did the trickā¦ however, we are sadly not there yet.
You mention something about a config.js file to edit, but we canāt find any such file in our installation. Is it a file we have to copy to the installation afterwards and then edit?
We are trying to set up a Speckle Server om a Windows 10 1803.
Thank you in advance.

Heya! what errors are you still getting?
Hi @dimitrie
We got it spinning 
However, we are not sure what to paste in the Speckle login. Can you help? Thanks!
Hey @mthuesen! since youāve registered online, in the gh or rhino plugins you will need to login (thatās the last tab in the first screenshot you posted!).
For the server URL, http://YOUR_IP:3000/api/v1, and use your login details. Let me know how it goes!
PS: @teocomi published a guide for gh + dynamo recently here: https://speckle.works/log/speckle-guide/
Hi,
I tried setting up a speckle server following the guides in the repo here: GitHub - speckleworks/SpeckleServer: Speckle Server š
I have successfully set up a Docker droplet on Digital Ocean and ssh with root and also created a new user following the instructions here: Initial Server Setup with Ubuntu 16.04 | DigitalOcean
After this I executed the suggested commands in the ā5 min Docker Installā. However, when I run the docker-compose up command it gives the following error:
sigve@docker-speckle:~/speckle$ ls
docker-compose.yml
sigve@docker-speckle:~/speckle$ docker-compose up
ERROR: Couldnāt connect to Docker daemon at http+docker://localhost - is it running?
If itās at a non-standard location, specify the URL with the DOCKER_HOST environment variable.
I read this:
With the exception of the local Docker Machine setup, configurations where itās even possible to set $DOCKER_HOST to something else are dangerously insecure. Remember that being able to reach the Docker socket is equivalent to unrestricted root-level access over that system.
here: DOCKER_HOST env variable uses and documentation - Docker Cloud - Docker Forums
Someone run into the same issue? Iām really new to thisā¦
Hey Sigve, I just found this in a āto approveā queue. Speaks volumes about my forum admin prowess 
sorry for the delay!
If still a valid question: i think the error youāre getting is just because docker itself is not started (this is needed by compose). if you run docker version you should see if itās running or not.
If you installed docker as root and then switched to a new user, it will not be available, so most probably youāll need to re-run the docker install as sigve and not as root.
Thanks! Tried to run it as root, and that worked out nice. Have it up and running now 
Have still got the same issue with https not working on the api path as reported here: Can't deploy to Heroku Ā· Issue #98 Ā· speckleworks/SpeckleServer Ā· GitHub.
ref. ā@didimitrie interesting. It works with http but not with https when I follow your formula: https://YOUR_DROPLET_IP:3000/api/v1ā
http works, but get āThis site canāt be reached 167.99.216.1 unexpectedly closed the connection.ā when trying https://167.99.216.1:3000/api/v1.
