Binary Deployment ​

Binary deployment runs Komari directly without Docker. It is useful when you want a simple executable plus a system service.

TLDR ​

Download the matching file from the GitHub Releases page, then start Komari:

bash
./komari server -l 0.0.0.0:25774

On Windows:

powershell
.\komari.exe server -l 0.0.0.0:25774

Download Komari ​

  1. Open the GitHub Releases page.
  2. Download the asset for your operating system and CPU architecture.
  3. Rename it to komari or komari.exe.
  4. Place it in a dedicated directory, such as ~/komari on Linux or C:\komari on Windows.

Make It Executable ​

Linux and macOS only:

bash
cd ~/komari
chmod +x komari

Start the Server ​

bash
./komari server -l 0.0.0.0:25774

Komari creates a data directory in the working directory. Do not delete it unless you intentionally want to remove local data.

Complete Setup ​

Open http://localhost:25774 or http://<your-server-ip>:25774. On first access, use the installation guide to create the administrator account and site settings.

Run as a Linux Service ​

Create /etc/systemd/system/komari.service:

ini
[Unit]
Description=Komari Monitoring Service
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/home/user/komari/komari server -l 0.0.0.0:25774
WorkingDirectory=/home/user/komari
Restart=always
User=root

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Replace /home/user/komari with the real installation path.

Enable and start it:

bash
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable komari
sudo systemctl start komari
sudo systemctl status komari

Useful service commands:

bash
sudo systemctl stop komari
sudo systemctl restart komari
journalctl -u komari -f

Troubleshooting ​

  • If the binary will not run, confirm that you downloaded the correct architecture and set executable permissions.
  • If the dashboard is unreachable, check the listen address, firewall, and service status.
  • If a service fails to start, inspect journalctl -u komari -f and verify the paths in the service file.
