Quick start

Section titled “Quick start”

QuizDock on your own machine, in five steps. Only Docker is needed.

  1. Start the all-in-one image:

    Terminal window
    docker run -d --name quizdock --restart unless-stopped \
      -p 18080:3000 -v quizdock:/data fchaussin/quizdock:standalone

  2. Read the setup token in its log: docker logs quizdock, on the line that starts with This instance is not set up yet.

  3. Open http://<machine>:18080, give the token and follow the setup wizard.

  4. Choose Host area, type your name and choose Take the host seat.

  5. In Quizzes → Templates, choose Create a quiz from this on a sample quiz, then Present: players join from their phone with the PIN on the big screen.
