Get up and running with xyOps quickly using Docker. This guide walks you through installation, first login, and creating your first automated job.

​
Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have:
  • Docker installed and running
  • Port 5522 and 5523 available
  • Basic familiarity with shell commands

​
Install with Docker

1

Run the container

Launch xyOps with a single Docker command:
docker run --detach --init --restart unless-stopped \
  -v xy-data:/opt/xyops/data \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  -e TZ="America/Los_Angeles" \
  -e XYOPS_xysat_local="true" \
  -p 5522:5522 -p 5523:5523 \
  --name "xyops01" --hostname "xyops01" \
  ghcr.io/pixlcore/xyops:latest
The -v /var/run/docker.sock mount allows xyOps to manage Docker containers on your host.

Common issues

If ports 5522 or 5523 are taken, change the port mapping:
-p 8080:5522 -p 8443:5523
Then access xyOps at http://localhost:8080
Check Docker logs:
docker logs xyops01
Common causes:
  • Insufficient disk space
  • Permission issues with Docker socket
  • Port conflicts
If you’ve lost your password, reset it via the command line:
docker exec -it xyops01 bin/control.sh recover
Enter your email address to reset the admin password.
