Disclaimers / important information

Outline is a softwared licenced under BUSL 1.1 licence. ⚠️ That licence is not totally free. Please read it very carefully if you have any commercial use in mind. The Outline version shipped with this package (v0.65.2) will be released under Apache-2.0 licence after May 23rd 2026.

Known limitations

The app can now run in the CI server and reach level 7. However, it is still very young and not broadly tested. Please use it with extreme care if it's on a prod server
The app requires MinIO app to be installed (MinIO installation and setup is automatic, though)
The app requires Dex app to be installed (Dex installation and setup is automatic, though)
The app is requiring three domains including two fully dedicated (one for MinIO server, one for Dex, one for Outline)
ARM architectures are not yet supported (But it should be achievable soon)
Because it's built from sources, the app requires an important amount of RAM, disk and time to install properly

How to create an admin user

The first user to login will automatically be granted admin rights You can then change the user rights by default and/or change the admin user afterwards from the Outline settings page
