🖨️ Setup Manyfold — Organize Your 3D Model Library
Deploy Manyfold on Ubuntu with Docker — turn a messy folder of STL downloads into a browsable, searchable library with previews, tags, and creator info, on port 3214.
⚠️ This script is provided for demo and testing purposes only. Not intended for production use.
📦 Resources & Setup Scripts
Grab the automated bash script from GitHub to follow along with the video.
Quick Install:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhmdali94/Docker/main/3d-printing/manyfold/manyfold-ubuntu.sh
chmod +x manyfold-ubuntu.sh
sudo bash manyfold-ubuntu.sh
Tutorial Steps
1 Download the Script
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhmdali94/Docker/main/3d-printing/manyfold/manyfold-ubuntu.sh
2 Make it Executable
chmod +x manyfold-ubuntu.sh
3 Run the Installer
The script installs Docker if needed and starts Manyfold with its PostgreSQL database and Redis on port 3214. It generates a secret key base and DB password, and mounts a libraries folder where your model files live.
sudo bash manyfold-ubuntu.sh
4 Open the Web UI and Register
Put your STL folders in the libraries directory, then open Manyfold and register the first user — that account becomes the administrator:
http://<your-server-ip>:3214
Ports Used
| Port | Purpose |
|---|---|
| 3214 | Web UI — first user to register becomes admin |
| ./libraries | Your STL folders — indexed in place, never moved |
| PostgreSQL + Redis | Internal — metadata and background scan/preview jobs |
