Self-Hosting (Docker Compose)

The easiest way to run JobOps is via Docker Compose. The app is self-configuring and guides you through setup on first launch.

Prerequisites​

  • Docker Desktop or Docker Engine + Compose v2

1) Start the stack​

No environment variables are required to boot:

docker compose up -d

This pulls the pre-built image from GHCR and starts the API, UI, and scrapers in one container.

To build locally instead:

docker compose up -d --build

2) Access the app and onboard​

Open:

  • Dashboard: http://localhost:3005

The onboarding wizard helps you validate and save:

  1. LLM Provider: OpenRouter by default (or OpenAI/Gemini/local URL).
  2. PDF Export: RxResume credentials, plus your preferred PDF renderer in Settings.
  3. Template Resume: Choose a base resume from your RxResume account.

Settings are saved to the local database.

Gmail OAuth (Tracking Inbox)​

If you want Gmail integration, configure OAuth credentials.

1) Create Google OAuth credentials​

In Google Cloud:

  1. Configure OAuth consent screen.
  2. Enable Gmail API.
  3. Create OAuth client ID (Web application).
  4. Add redirect URI:
  • http://localhost:3005/oauth/gmail/callback
  • Or your production URL, for example https://your-domain.com/oauth/gmail/callback

2) Configure environment variables​

  • GMAIL_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID (required)
  • GMAIL_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET (required)
  • GMAIL_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI (optional, recommended in production)

3) Restart and connect​

  • Restart container
  • Open Tracking Inbox and click Connect Gmail

Persistent data​

./data bind-mount stores:

  • SQLite DB: data/jobs.db
  • Generated PDFs: data/pdfs/

Public demo mode​

Set DEMO_MODE=true for sandbox deployments.

Behavior in demo mode:

  • Works locally: browsing/filtering/status/timeline edits
  • Simulated: pipeline run/summarize/process/rescore/pdf/apply
  • Blocked: settings writes, DB clear, backups
  • Auto-reset: every 6 hours

Updating​

git pull
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

Self-hosted Reactive Resume​

If you self-host Reactive Resume, set:

  • RXRESUME_URL=http://rxresume.local.net
  • RXRESUME_MODE=auto (recommended) or v5/v4 to force a specific API version
  • RXRESUME_API_KEY=... (or configure rxresumeApiKey in JobOps Settings)

auto mode is the default and prefers v5 when an API key is configured, then falls back to v4 credentials.

Local LaTeX PDF rendering​

JobOps supports 2 PDF renderers:

  • rxresume: export the final PDF through RxResume
  • latex: render locally from tailored resume data using LaTeX and tectonic

When using the LaTeX renderer:

  • The Docker image installs tectonic for you.
  • For non-Docker local runs, install tectonic yourself and optionally set TECTONIC_BIN if it is not on your PATH.

RxResume remains the source of truth for base resume data, project visibility, and tailoring inputs in both modes.
