These files run every part. To leave one out, delete its service from compose.yaml.

1. Save as .env and fill in what is empty:

# Crafting Apps for FreeBSD (Daemonless)

# The user and group the nginx workers run as.
PUID=1000
PGID=1000

# To set a timezone, change Etc/UTC to a TZ identifier
# https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones#List
TZ=Etc/UTC

2. Save as compose.yaml:

#
# Crafting Apps for FreeBSD (Daemonless)
#
# ArtCraft's thirteen open-source creative and office apps, each a static WebAssembly site
# served by nginx. Pick the ones you want; nothing is shared between them.

Save the files above, then run appjail-director up. Open http://<server>:8080 from another machine (the server's own browser can't use a published port).

Setup Instructions

Everything runs in the browser. Each app is Rust compiled to WebAssembly; the containers only serve static files. Files open through the browser's file picker and save as downloads, and nothing is stored server side, so there are no volumes.

Your work lives in the browser, not on the server. Preferences, LightCraft's photo library (in the browser's origin-private file system) and EffectCraft's offline cache belong to the browser profile that opened the app, per origin. Clearing site data, switching browsers, or reaching the app under a different hostname means starting empty. Export what you want to keep; the exported files are the backup, as with any desktop app.

HTTPS. WebGPU and the clipboard need a secure context. Over plain HTTP the apps fall back to WebGL2; put them behind your reverse proxy for the full experience.

Fonts. The browser builds ship with only two fonts. PhotoCraft, WordCraft, GridCraft, DeckCraft and CADCraft also list the Japanese, Chinese and Arabic families from craft-fonts, which their images serve alongside the app; a family is downloaded the first time you pick it or open a document that uses it.

Parameters
