Installation

Coco Server User Guide #

  • Run Coco Server with Docker
  • Manual install Coco Server

This method is the simplest way to get Coco Server running. It uses Docker-managed volumes, which handles data persistence automatically without requiring manual directory setup on your host machine.

Command:

docker run -d \
  --name cocoserver \
  -p 9000:9000 \
  -v data:/app/easysearch/data \
  -v config:/app/easysearch/config \
  -v logs:/app/easysearch/logs \
  infinilabs/coco:0.7.0

🔒 SECURITY WARNING

By default, this command initializes the Coco Server with a randomly generated initial admin password for security. You will need to retrieve this password from the server logs after the first startup. If you prefer to set a specific password beforehand, you must use the EASYSEARCH_INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD environment variable.

After running the command:

  • Coco Server will be running in the background. Access the Web UI at http://localhost:9000.
  • Your data, configuration, and logs are safely stored in Docker volumes named data, config, and logs.

2. Advanced Start (Using Host Directories) #

This method provides direct access to the data, configuration, and log files on your host machine. It’s suitable for users who want to easily edit configuration files or manage data directly.

Step 1: Prepare Host Directories and Environment File

First, create the necessary directories and a .env file for your password.

# Create the parent directory for all Coco Server files.
# We recommend using a standard location like /data/cocoserver.
sudo mkdir -p /data/cocoserver/{data,logs,config}

# Create an environment file to store your password securely.
# Replace "$(openssl rand -hex 10)" with a strong, secret password.
echo "EASYSEARCH_INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -hex 10)" | sudo tee /data/cocoserver/.env > /dev/null

Step 2: Initialize Configuration from the Image (One-time Setup)

This clever command runs a temporary container to copy the default configuration files from the image into your newly created local config directory.

docker run --rm \
  -v /data/cocoserver/config:/tmp/config \
  infinilabs/coco:0.7.0 \
  cp -a /app/easysearch/config/. /tmp/config/
  • --rm: Automatically removes the container after it exits.
  • -v /data/cocoserver/config:/tmp/config: Mounts your local config directory into a temporary path inside the container.
  • cp -a ...: The command executed inside the container. It copies all contents from the image’s config directory to the mounted host directory.

Step 3: Set Directory Permissions

The container runs with a specific user (UID 602). You must grant this user write permissions to the host directories.

Note: This step might be unnecessary on some Docker environments like Docker Desktop for Mac. Test without it first if you are unsure.

sudo chown -R 602:602 /data/cocoserver

Step 4: Run the Coco Server Container

Now, start the main container, mounting your prepared host directories and using the .env file for the password.

docker run -d \
  --name cocoserver \
  --hostname coco-server \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  --env-file /data/cocoserver/.env \
  -m 4g --cpus="2" \
  -p 9000:9000 \
  -v /data/cocoserver/data:/app/easysearch/data \
  -v /data/cocoserver/config:/app/easysearch/config \
  -v /data/cocoserver/logs:/app/easysearch/logs \
  -e ES_JAVA_OPTS="-Xms2g -Xmx2g" \
  infinilabs/coco:0.7.0
  • --env-file: Securely loads environment variables (like your password) from the .env file.

3. Upgrading Coco Server #

Follow these steps to upgrade to a new version while preserving all your data. The procedure is the same whether you used the Quick Start or Advanced Start method.

Step 1: Pull the New Image

# Replace '0.7.0' with the new version tag.
docker pull infinilabs/coco:0.7.0

Step 2: Stop and Remove the Old Container

docker stop cocoserver && docker rm cocoserver

Step 3: Start a New Container with the Same Volumes/Mounts

Re-run your original docker run command, but update the image tag to the new version. It is crucial to use the exact same -v volume or bind mount paths as before.

  • If you used Quick Start, re-run the Quick Start command with the new image tag.
  • If you used Advanced Start, re-run the Advanced Start command with the new image tag.

4. Full Cleanup and Removal #

These commands will completely remove the Coco Server container and its data.

🛑 DANGER ZONE 🛑

The following commands will permanently delete all your Coco Server data. This action cannot be undone. Proceed with caution.

Step 1: Stop and Remove the Container

docker stop cocoserver && docker rm cocoserver

Step 2: Remove Data, Config, and Logs

  • If you used Quick Start (Docker Volumes):
    docker volume rm data config logs
  • If you used Advanced Start (Host Directories):
    sudo rm -rf /data/cocoserver

Step 3: Remove the Docker Image

docker rmi infinilabs/coco:0.7.0

Manual Installation #

Follow these steps for a manual setup:

Easysearch #

Install Easysearch

docker run -itd \
    --name easysearch -p 9200:9200 \
    -v data:/app/easysearch/data \
    -v config:/app/easysearch/config \
    -v logs:/app/easysearch/logs \
    infinilabs/easysearch:1.14.1

Get the bootstrap password of the Easysearch:

docker logs easysearch | grep "admin:"

Coco AI #

Modify coco.yml with correct env settings, or start the coco server with the correct environments like this:

$ OLLAMA_MODEL=deepseek-r1:1.5b ES_PASSWORD=45ff432a5428ade77c7b  ./bin/coco
