​
1. Clone the Workspace

Clone or fork the Litlyx repository from GitHub to your local machine. Open the file docker-compose.yaml.

​
2. Update MongoDB Credentials

In the mongo service, update the following fields with your preferred username and password: 
  MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: root        # change this
  MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: mongo_pass  # change this
Update the MongoDB connection string in both producer and consumer services: 
  MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING=mongodb://root:mongo_pass@mongo:27017/Litlyx?authSource=admin
Update the same value in the dashboard service: 
  NUXT_MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING=mongodb://root:mongo_pass@mongo:27017/Litlyx?authSource=admin

​
3. Update Redis Credentials

In the redis service, change the following fields: 
  command: ["redis-server", "--requirepass", "redis_pass"]
  REDIS_PASSWORD: redis_pass
These values must match exactly.
Note: REDIS_USERNAME must remain the default one. Update Redis credentials in producer and consumer: 
  REDIS_PASSWORD: redis_pass
Update Redis credentials in dashboard: 
  NUXT_REDIS_PASSWORD=redis_pass

​
4. Set the Authentication JWT Secret

In the dashboard service, set your session secret: 
  NUXT_SESSION_PASSWORD=jwt_secret_here
This is required to keep your Nuxt instance secure.

​
5. Update Admin Credentials

Litlyx includes symbolic default admin credentials.
Replace them to keep your instance secure. 
  NUXT_ADMIN_EMAIL=your_admin_email
  NUXT_ADMIN_PASSWORD=your_admin_password

​
6. Start the Docker Containers

Prepare your docker images by running this command: 
npm run docker-prepare
Than run this command to start the containers: 
docker-compose up
Docker will automatically download and start all Litlyx services from Docker Hub.
Litlyx depends on ts-node… so make sure you’ve that installed in your instance. Run npm install ts-node.

​
6.a Forward Data with a Script Tag

To forward data from your website to your instance, configure the script with:
  • data-host
  • data-port
  • data-secure → true for HTTPS, false for HTTP
Open the following ports:
  • 3000 for the dashboard
  • 3001 for incoming events
<script 
  defer
  data-workspace="workspace_id"
  data-host="your-host"
  data-port="your-producer-port"
  data-secure="false"
  src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/litlyx-js@latest/browser/litlyx.js">
</script>
The Producer service collects events and queues them for storage. Default port: 3001, but customizable.

​
6.b Forward Data Using NPM

If using NPM: 
Lit.init("workspace_id", {
  server: {
    host: "your-host",
    port: 3001,
    secure: true
  }
})
The Producer service queues data before storage. Default port: 3001.

​
7. Enable AI Features (Optional)

To enable Reports and AI Chat in the dashboard, set these fields: 
  NUXT_PUBLIC_AI_ENABLED=true
  NUXT_AI_ORG=your_openai_org_id
  NUXT_AI_PROJECT=your_openai_project_id
  NUXT_AI_KEY=your_openai_api_key
These values are available in your OpenAI admin console.
