<p class="advice">
Installing and maintaining a self-hosted Penpot instance requires some technical knowledge:
Docker and Docker Compose, basic DNS management, and proxy configuration.
If you're not comfortable with this stack, we encourage you to try
more straight-forward installations with <a href="https://help.penpot.app/technical-guide/getting-started/elestio/" target="_blank">Elestio</a>
or use the SAAS at <a href="https://design.penpot.app" targret="_blank">https://design.penpot.app</a>.

to install and maintain docker.
Currently, Docker comes into two different flavours:
### Docker Desktop
This is the only option to have Docker in a Windows or MacOS. Recently it's also available
for Linux, in the most popular distributions (Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora).
You can install it following the <a href="https://docs.docker.com/desktop/"
target="_blank">official guide</a>.
Docker Desktop has a graphical control panel (GUI) to manage the service and view the
containers, images and volumes. But you need the command line (Terminal in Linux and Mac, or
PowerShell in Windows) to build and run the containers, and execute other operations.
It already includes **docker compose** utility, needed by Penpot.
### Docker Engine
This is the classic and default Docker setup for Linux machines, and the only option for a
Linux VPS without graphical interface.
You can install it following the <a href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/"
target="_blank">official guide</a>.
And you also need the [docker
compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/cli-command/#installing-compose-v2) (V2)
plugin. You can use the old **docker-compose** tool, but all the documentation supposes
you are using the V2.
You can easily check which version of **docker compose** you have. If you can execute
<code class="language-bash">docker compose</code> command, then you have V2. If you need to write <code class="language-bash">docker-compose</code> (with a
<code class="language-bash">-</code>) for it to work, you have the old version.
