I am trying to run Penpot locally, but there are no detailed instructions provided on the official website. I have tried using Docker images, but now I want to try running it using Penpot’s source code. I hope to be able to run Penpot locally and create/edit designs. Can anyone provide detailed steps or point me to relevant resources?

Thank you!

@vege theoretically you can run Penpot locally without using Docker, by manually installing dependencies. But this process is not documented nor supported by us. Only Elestio and Docker. if you really want to do this way, you can look at the dockerfiles and extract the info from there.
