## π Quick Start
For detailed instructions, please refer to the [documentation](https://kite.zzde.me/guide/installation.html).
### Docker
```bash
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -v ./data:/data -e DB_DSN=/data/db.sqlite ghcr.io/kite-org/kite:latest
```
### Deploy in Kubernetes
#### Using Helm (Recommended)
1. **Add Helm repository**
```bash
helm repo add kite https://kite-org.github.io/kite/
helm repo update
```
2. **Install with default values**
```bash
helm install kite kite/kite -n kube-system
```
#### Using kubectl
1. **Apply deployment manifests**
```bash
kubectl apply -f deploy/install.yaml
# or install it online
# Note: This method may not be suitable for a production environment, as it does not include any configuration related to persistence. You will need to manually mount the persistence volume and set the environment variable DB_DSN=/data/db.sqlite to ensure that data is not lost. Alternatively, an external database can be used.
# ref: https://kite.zzde.me/faq.html#persistence-issues
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kite-org/kite/refs/heads/main/deploy/install.yaml
```
2. **Access via port-forward**
```bash
kubectl port-forward -n kube-system svc/kite 8080:8080
```
### Build from Source
1. **Clone the repository**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/kite-org/kite.git
cd kite
```
2. **Build the project**
```bash
make deps
make build
```
3. **Run the server**
