Tutorial

Get started with Submify

From install to your first stored submission. Each step links to the full documentation.

  1. Install Submify

    Run the one-command installer on Ubuntu or Debian, or use Docker Compose or CasaOS. Every path ends with the same Docker Compose stack.

    Open the install page

  2. Create a project and copy its keys

    Each project has its own public and secret key pair. Browsers POST JSON with the public key.
