Getting started
Install the app
Download Chronicler for Windows, macOS or Linux — or use it in a browser.
Download
Get the installer for your platform from the releases page.
Download the
.exe installer and run it. Windows SmartScreen may warn about a
new publisher — choose More info → Run anyway.Download the
.dmg, open it, and drag Chronicler to Applications. On first
launch, right-click the app and choose Open to get past Gatekeeper.Download the .AppImage, make it executable and run it:
Terminal
chmod +x Chronicler-*.AppImage
./Chronicler-*.AppImage
Or use the browser
Cloud users can skip the download entirely and go to app.chroniclerlm.com.
The browser version talks to the Cloud service only. To use a self-hosted server you need the installed app — it's what starts and updates the Docker stack on your machine.
Updates
The app updates itself. When a new version is published it downloads in the background and installs when you restart Chronicler.
Updating the app does not update a self-hosted server. Those are separate
things on purpose, so an app update can never restart your server behind your
back. See Updating.
