Deploy LibreDesk
Modern, open-source omnichannel customer support desk with live chat, email, a help center, and automations. A self-hosted alternative to Zendesk and Help Scout.
After you deploy LibreDesk
Image ghcr.io/stackblaze/libredesk (Stackblaze fork of LibreDesk). First boot installs the schema and creates the System user. Sign in with email System and the password in LIBREDESK_SYSTEM_USER_PASSWORD (generated once at create; change it after login). Then set the public URL in Admin settings — app.root_url defaults to http://localhost:9000, which breaks links and the chat widget. The encryption key is generated once; do not change it after data exists. Uploads persist on the shared volume. Notification email is stored in Admin → Settings: copy SMTP_HOST, SMTP_PORT, SMTP_USER, SMTP_PASSWORD, and SMTP_FROM (STARTTLS on 587). Customer inboxes are added in the LibreDesk admin.
