## Getting Started
We offer a hosted version of Inbox Zero at [getinboxzero.com](https://www.getinboxzero.com).
### Self-Hosting
The fastest way to self-host Inbox Zero is with the CLI:
> **Prerequisites**: [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) and [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) v24+
```bash
npx @inbox-zero/cli setup # One-time setup wizard
npx @inbox-zero/cli start # Start containers
```
Open http://localhost:3000
For complete self-hosting instructions, production deployment, OAuth setup, and configuration options, see our **[Self-Hosting Docs](https://docs.getinboxzero.com/hosting/quick-start)**.
### Local Development
> **Prerequisites**: [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/), [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) v24+, and [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/) v10+
```bash
git clone https://github.com/elie222/inbox-zero.git
cd inbox-zero
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d # Postgres + Redis
pnpm install
npm run setup # Interactive env setup
cd apps/web && pnpm prisma migrate dev && cd ../..
pnpm dev
```
Open http://localhost:3000
After `pnpm install`, if you want to use the local Google emulator, start it with:
```bash
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml --profile google-emulator up -d
```
Then point `apps/web/.env` at it with:
```bash
GOOGLE_BASE_URL=http://localhost:4002
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=emulate-google-client.apps.googleusercontent.com
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=emulate-google-secret
```
If you want to use the local Microsoft emulator, start it with:
```bash
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml --profile microsoft-emulator up -d
```
Then point `apps/web/.env` at it with:
```bash
MICROSOFT_BASE_URL=http://localhost:4003
MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID=emulate-microsoft-client-id
MICROSOFT_CLIENT_SECRET=emulate-microsoft-secret
```

Docker images are automatically built on every push to `main` and tagged with the commit SHA (e.g., `elie222/inbox-zero:abc1234`). The `latest` tag always points to the most recent main build. Formal releases use version tags (e.g., `v2.26.0`).
