Getting Started

Sharkord is distributed as a standalone binary that bundles both server and client components. Get started by downloading the latest release for your platform from the Releases page. We ship binaries for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Linux x64

curl -L https://github.com/sharkord/sharkord/releases/latest/download/sharkord-linux-x64 -o sharkord
chmod +x sharkord
./sharkord

Docker

Sharkord can also be run using Docker. Here's how to run it:

docker run \
  -p 4991:4991/tcp \
  -p 40000:40000/tcp \
  -p 40000:40000/udp \
  -v ./data:/home/bun/.config/sharkord \
  --name sharkord \
  sharkord/sharkord:latest

[!NOTE] Upon first launch, Sharkord will create a secure token and print it to the console. This token allows ANYONE to gain owner access to your server, so make sure to store it securely and do not lose it!

Once the server is running, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:4991 to access the Sharkord client interface. If you're running the server on a different machine, replace localhost with the server's IP address or domain name.

Check out our Documentation for more detailed setup instructions, configuration options, and troubleshooting tips.
