Performance

JavaScript

The total JavaScript bundle size is less than 1000 kB, but this is made even smaller by the fact that the bundle is split into multiple files, and only the necessary files are loaded on each page.

Benchmarks

Installation

Versia-FE is included in the provided docker-compose file during Versia Server installation.

To have Versia-FE and Versia Server running on the same domain, edit the Versia Server configuration to point to the Versia-FE container's address (frontend category inside config).

Manual Installation

Here are the steps to install Versia-FE manually:

Docker/Podman

services:
    fe:
        image: ghcr.io/versia-pub/frontend:main
        container_name: versia-fe
        restart: unless-stopped
        networks:
            - versia-net
        environment:
            NUXT_PUBLIC_API_HOST: https://yourserver.com
            # For Tor users, set the following environment variable in addition to the above
            # NUXT_PUBLIC_ONION_API_HOST: http://youronionserver.onion

Then, the frontend will be available at http://localhost:3000 inside the container. To link it to a Versia Server, set the NUXT_PUBLIC_API_HOST environment variable to the server's URL.
