Existential automatically creates a Docker overlay network called exist with the following features:
- Overlay driver: Enables multi-host communication (Docker Swarm compatible)
- Attachable: Allows standalone containers to join the network
- Encrypted: IP-sec encryption between nodes for secure communication
The network is automatically created when you run docker compose up - no manual network creation required!
Individual services communicate with each other using container names (e.g., librechat-api can reach librechat-mongodb:27017).
- Run
./existential.sh - Follow the steps to configure defaults (see dynamic variables)
- See Hosting to enable/disable services
docker compose upto run all configured services
This project includes multiple open source projects with respective licensing.
