💾 Install

Getting up and running with Fleetbase via Docker is the quickest and most straightforward way. If you’d like to use Fleetbase without docker read the full install guide in the Fleetbase documentation.

Make sure you have both the latest versions of docker and docker-compose installed on your system.

git clone git@github.com:fleetbase/fleetbase.git  
cd fleetbase  
docker-compose up -d  
docker exec -ti fleetbase-application-1 bash  
sh deploy.sh

Accessing Fleetbase

Once successfully installed and running you can then access the Fleetbase console on port 4200 and the API will be accessible from port 8000.

Fleetbase Console: http://localhost:4200 Fleetbase API: http://localhost:8000

Additional Configurations

CORS: If you’re installing directly on a server you may need to add your IP address or domain to the api/config/cors.php file in the allowed_hosts array.

Routing: Fleetbase ships with a default OSRM server hosted by [router.project-osrm.org](https://router.project-osrm.org) but you’re able to use your own or any other OSRM compatible server. You can modify this in the console/environments directory by modifying the .env file of the environment you’re deploying and setting the OSRM_HOST to the OSRM server for Fleetbase to use.

Services: There are a few environment variables which need to be set for Fleetbase to function with full features. If you’re deploying with docker then it’s easiest to just create a docker-compose.override.yml and supply the environment variables in this file.

version: “3.8”
services:  
  application:  
    environment:  
      MAIL_MAILER: (ses, smtp, mailgun, postmark, sendgrid)
      OSRM_HOST: https://router.project-osrm.org
      IPINFO_API_KEY:
      GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY:  
      GOOGLE_MAPS_LOCALE: us
      TWILIO_SID:  
      TWILIO_TOKEN:
      TWILIO_FROM:
      CONSOLE_HOST: http://localhost:4200

You can learn more about full installation, and configuration in the official documentation.

🧩 Extensions

Extensions are modular components that enhance the functionality of your Fleetbase instance. They allow you to add new features, customize existing behavior, or integrate with external systems.

You can find extensions available from the official Fleetbase Console, here you will also be able get your registry token to install extensions to a self-hosted Fleetbase instance.

Additionally you're able to develop and publish your own extensions as well which you can read more about developing extensions via the extension building guide.

⌨️ Fleetbase CLI

The Fleetbase CLI is a powerful tool designed to simplify the management of extensions for your Fleetbase instance. With the CLI, you can effortlessly handle authentication, install and uninstall extensions, and scaffold new extensions if you are developing your own.

Get started with the CLI with npm:

npm i -g @fleetbase/cli

Once installed, you can access a variety of commands to manage your Fleetbase extensions.

📱 Apps

Fleetbase offers a few open sourced apps which are built on Fleetbase which can be cloned and customized. Every app is built so that the Fleetbase instance can be switched out whether on-premise install or cloud hosted.

• Storefront App: Fleetbase based ecommerce/on-demand app for launching your very own shop or marketplace to Apple or Android playstore.
• Navigator App: Fleetbase based driver app which can be used for drivers to manage and update order, additionally provides real time driver location which can be viewed in the Fleetbase Console.
