Doory is a design editor that runs in the browser. Make posters, social posts, stories, slides, invitations, resumes, thumbnails and business cards, then export them as PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, MP4 or GIF. This is Doory in a single container, with one port and one data folder. PostgreSQL is inside, and the secret key and database passwords are made for you on first start. The optional AI server and Redis are left out.

Features

Start from a template or a blank page, with several pages per design
Text effects, curved text, an open-licensed font catalogue and your own fonts
About 27,500 icons, emoji and illustrations, shapes, QR codes
Photo crop, masks, filters and background removal in the browser
Animations, page transitions, music loops, sound effects and video clips
Share links, comments, version history and live co-editing
Brand kits with your colours, fonts and logos
Server-side PDF export with headless Chromium inside

How to use

Open Doory Art from your dashboard.
Sign in with the admin email and password, or create an account.
Pick a size or a template and start designing.
Use Share to make a link, or download your design.
Open /admin/ as the admin to manage users, templates and settings.

Before you install

Set ADMIN_EMAIL to your own email. Leave ADMIN_PASSWORD blank to get a random one; it is shown in the app log on the first start (look for "admin password is") and saved in /data/state/secrets.env. Change localhost in PUBLIC_URL to your box's IP, for example http://192.168.1.10:6143, so share links work from other devices. More settings, like email (SMTP), Google or SSO sign-in, stock photo keys and the MCP server, are in the Variables tab; add them in the app settings. The first start takes about ten minutes while it sets up the database and downloads icons, fonts and templates.

Doory is released under the Attribution Assurance License by Siam, creator and maintainer of Doory (https://github.com/shaongitbd/doory). The licence text is in the image at /usr/share/doc/doory/LICENSE.

The settings in the first table are already in the app settings. To use any other one, open the app settings, add the variable with your value, save, and the app restarts with it. A setting you leave out uses its default.

In the app settings

Variable	Default value	Description
`TZ`	`$TZ`	Your time zone. It is filled in from your ZimaOS time zone. Leave it unless you need another.
`PUBLIC_URL`	`http://localhost:6143`	The address people use to open Doory, with no slash at the end. Change localhost to your ZimaOS IP, for example http://192.168.1.10:6143, or use your own https:// domain. Share links and emails use it.
`ADMIN_EMAIL`	`—`	The email for the first admin account. Put your own email here. Left blank, it is [email protected]. Only used while there is no admin yet.
`ADMIN_PASSWORD`	`—`	The password for the first admin account. Leave it blank and the app makes a random one on first start. It is shown in the app log and saved in the data folder. Or type your own. Only used while there is no admin yet; change it later in Doory.

      Doory is a design editor that runs in the browser. Make posters, social
      posts, stories, slides, invitations, resumes, thumbnails and business
      cards, then export them as PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, MP4 or GIF. This is Doory
      in a single container, with one port and one data folder. PostgreSQL is
      inside, and the secret key and database passwords are made for you on
      first start. The optional AI server and Redis are left out.


      **Features**


      - Start from a template or a blank page, with several pages per design

      - Text effects, curved text, an open-licensed font catalogue and your
        own fonts

      - About 27,500 icons, emoji and illustrations, shapes, QR codes

      - Photo crop, masks, filters and background removal in the browser

      - Animations, page transitions, music loops, sound effects and video
        clips

      - Share links, comments, version history and live co-editing

      - Brand kits with your colours, fonts and logos

      - Server-side PDF export with headless Chromium inside


      **How to use?**


      1. Open Doory Art from the Zima OS dashboard.


      2. Sign in with the admin email and password, or create an account.


      3. Pick a size or a template and start designing.


      4. Use Share to make a link, or download your design.


      5. Open /admin/ as the admin to manage users, templates and settings.
  tips:
    before_install:
      en_US: >-
        1. Open the app configuration before you install.


        2. Find ADMIN_EMAIL. Set it to your own email.


        3. Leave ADMIN_PASSWORD blank to get a random one. Or type your own.


        4. Find PUBLIC_URL. Change localhost to your ZimaOS IP, for example
           http://192.168.1.10:6143.


        5. More settings, like email (SMTP), Google sign-in and stock photo
           keys, are listed on the Doory Art page at
           https://icestore.hsinghhira.me/app/doory-art/ (Variables tab). You
           can add them now or later in the app settings.


        6. Start the installation.


        7. Wait about ten minutes. The first start sets up the database and
           downloads icons, fonts and templates.


        8. If you left ADMIN_PASSWORD blank, open the app log. Find the line
           that says "admin password is".


        9. Open http://your-zimaos-ip:6143 and sign in with your admin email.


        10. The admin pages are at http://your-zimaos-ip:6143/admin/.
