# Paperclip
[中文文档](README.zh.md)
Paperclip is an open-source orchestration platform for running AI-native teams. This Compose setup builds the upstream Docker image from source, persists the full Paperclip home directory, and exposes the web UI on port 3100.
## Quick Start
1. Copy the example environment file:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
2. Optionally edit `.env`:
- Set `PAPERCLIP_PUBLIC_URL` if you are not using `http://localhost:3100`
- Add `OPENAI_API_KEY` and or `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` for local adapters
- Set `DATABASE_URL` if you want to use an external PostgreSQL instance instead of the embedded database
3. Start the service:
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
4. Open the UI:
- <http://localhost:3100>
5. Follow the Paperclip onboarding flow in the browser.
## Default Ports

| --------- | ---- | -------------- |
| Paperclip | 3100 | Web UI and API |
## Important Environment Variables
| Variable | Description | Default |
| ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | ----------------------- |
| `PAPERCLIP_GIT_REF` | Git ref used for the source build | `main` |
| `PAPERCLIP_PORT_OVERRIDE` | Host port for Paperclip | `3100` |
| `PAPERCLIP_PUBLIC_URL` | Public URL for auth and invite flows | `http://localhost:3100` |
| `PAPERCLIP_ALLOWED_HOSTNAMES` | Extra allowed hostnames | `localhost` |
| `PAPERCLIP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE` | Deployment mode | `authenticated` |
| `PAPERCLIP_DEPLOYMENT_EXPOSURE` | Exposure mode | `private` |
| `DATABASE_URL` | Optional external PostgreSQL URL | - |
| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | OpenAI key for bundled local adapters | - |

## Volumes
- `paperclip_data`: Stores embedded PostgreSQL data, uploaded files, secrets, and runtime state.
## Notes
- If `DATABASE_URL` is not provided, Paperclip automatically uses embedded PostgreSQL.
- The upstream Docker image includes the UI and server in one container.
- The first source build can take several minutes.
