Self-Hosting

Reactive Resume can be self-hosted using Docker. The stack includes:

- PostgreSQL — Database for storing user data and resumes
- SeaweedFS (optional) — S3-compatible storage for file uploads

> From v5.1.0 onwards — PDF generation now runs entirely client-side via @react-pdf/renderer. New deployments no longer require Browserless, Chromium, or any external print service as a dependency. The PRINTER_ and BROWSERLESS_ environment variables are no longer read and can be removed from your .env.

Pull the latest image from Docker Hub or GitHub Container Registry:

# Docker Hub
docker pull amruthpillai/reactive-resume:latest

GitHub Container Registry

docker pull ghcr.io/amruthpillai/reactive-resume:latest

See the self-hosting guide for complete instructions.
