Quick Install:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhmdali94/Docker/main/databases/typesense/typesense-ubuntu.sh
chmod +x typesense-ubuntu.sh
sudo bash typesense-ubuntu.sh

Tutorial Steps

1 Download the Script

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhmdali94/Docker/main/databases/typesense/typesense-ubuntu.sh

2 Make it Executable

chmod +x typesense-ubuntu.sh

3 Run the Installer

The script installs Docker if needed, generates a 32-character API key from /dev/urandom, starts typesense/typesense:29.0 on port 8108, then polls /health until the node responds.

sudo bash typesense-ubuntu.sh

4 Verify the Node is Healthy

The installer prints your generated API key — save it now. Confirm the node is up:

curl http://<your-server-ip>:8108/health
