Run Janus Edge in ten minutes.

Linux installer — recommended

Linux amd64 or arm64, Python 3.9+. Downloads and verifies the release archive; installs under ~/.local without sudo. Does not create or start a service. Review install.py before running it.

curl -fL https://github.com/Torvanis/janus/releases/download/v2026.9.2/install.py -o install.py
python3 install.py --version 2026.9.2
python3 ~/.local/share/janus/run-local.py --binary ~/.local/bin/janus

Copy

Open http://127.0.0.1:8080 and create the first administrator. The launcher keeps a persistent private key and SQLite database; back up both.

Docker — evaluation

Versioned image: ghcr.io/torvanis/janus:2026.9.2 (digest sha256:a4352c0fbde6e506d26be60714926e798ca36e223b124e404efd82a3e0f5a5ca). If registry access is denied, use the Linux installer or source build.

Create and retain a private environment file once, then run with a loopback-only port, persistent data, and local first-admin setup. Never replace the encryption key for an existing database.

Docker instructions

Compose — source-built evaluation

The released example builds Janus locally and uses SQLite. It does not provision PostgreSQL or a monitoring stack.

Kubernetes

Helm chart 0.1.1 for Janus 2026.9.2: bundled single-instance PostgreSQL by default (not HA), local SQLite for evaluation only, or existing external PostgreSQL. Create and preserve the required Secrets before installing; follow the private first-admin setup in the guide.
