* feat(scripts): generate REDIS_PASSWORD on setup, plumb through compose Per the discussion on #453, this takes the recommended path of extending the setup scripts rather than introducing a parallel compose file. - scripts/setup_remote.sh now generates REDIS_PASSWORD alongside OSS_JWT_SECRET and POSTGRES_PASSWORD and writes it to the rendered .env (with a short comment noting it can be rotated, unlike the postgres password which is baked into the volume on first init). - scripts/start_docker.sh now generates REDIS_PASSWORD on first run if missing, mirroring the existing OSS_JWT_SECRET pattern (reuses generate_secret, which falls back through python3 → openssl → /dev/urandom). - docker-compose.yaml and docker-compose-local.yaml now interpolate ${REDIS_PASSWORD:-redissecret} in the redis --requirepass, the redis healthcheck, and the api REDIS_URL. The :-redissecret fallback preserves backwards compatibility for users with an existing .env that predates this change — they keep the old value until they regenerate. New installs (via either script) get a secure random hex.

🚀 Get Started
Download and setup Dograh on your Local Machine
Note
We collect anonymous usage data to improve the product. You can opt out by setting
ENABLE_TELEMETRY=falsebefore running the startup script.
Note
If you wish to run the platform on a remote server instead, checkout our Documentation
curl -o docker-compose.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dograh-hq/dograh/main/docker-compose.yaml && curl -o start_docker.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dograh-hq/dograh/main/scripts/start_docker.sh && chmod +x start_docker.sh && ./start_docker.sh
⚡ Prefer an AI agent to set it up for you? If you use Claude Code or Codex, install the official Dograh setup skill and let your agent handle installation, configuration, and troubleshooting — it detects your OS, picks the right deploy path, runs Dograh's own setup scripts, and verifies the result.
# In Claude Code /plugin marketplace add dograh-hq/dograh-plugins /plugin install dograh@dograhThen start a new session and ask it to "set up Dograh" (or run
/dograh-setup). Codex is supported too — see the plugin repo.
Note
First startup may take 2-3 minutes to download all images. Once running, open http://localhost:3010 to create your first AI voice assistant! For common issues and solutions, see 🔧 Troubleshooting.
🎙️ Your First Voice Bot
- Open http://localhost:3010 in your browser.
- Pick Inbound or Outbound, name your bot (e.g. Lead Qualification), and describe the use case in 5–10 words (e.g. Screen insurance form submissions for purchase intent).
- Click Web Call — you're talking to your bot.
🔑 No API keys needed. Dograh ships with auto-generated keys and its own LLM / TTS / STT stack. Connect your own keys for LLM, TTS, STT, or Telephony (e.g. Twilio, Vonage, Telnyx) anytime.
