How to Install ActiveWorkflow on Windows 11

ActiveWorkflow is a flexible workflow automation tool for building end-to-end automation workflows. Here's how to install it on your Windows 11 computer.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure that you have the following software installed on your computer:

Step 1: Clone the ActiveWorkflow Repository

Start by cloning the ActiveWorkflow repository to a local folder on your computer.

git clone https://github.com/automaticmode/active_workflow.git

Step 2: Install Docker

Visit the Docker website and follow the instructions to install Docker for Windows.

Step 3: Start Docker

Open the Docker app on your computer to start the Docker daemon.

Step 4: Build the ActiveWorkflow Docker Image

Navigate to the ActiveWorkflow folder that you cloned in Step 1 and run the following command to build the Docker image:

docker build . -t active_workflow:latest

Step 5: Run ActiveWorkflow using Docker Compose

Navigate to the docker-compose folder within the ActiveWorkflow repository and run the following command to start ActiveWorkflow using Docker Compose:

docker-compose up

The first time you run this command, it will take some time to download and set up all of the necessary Docker containers.

Step 6: Access ActiveWorkflow in Your Browser

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to access the ActiveWorkflow user interface.

That's it! You have successfully installed ActiveWorkflow on your Windows 11 computer. Remember to keep Docker running in the background to keep ActiveWorkflow running.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
