General information

Convenient! You don't need to purchase a license to install and test the store. In this mode, user authorization will be disabled and any user will have access to your store. To fully work with the store, you will need to purchase a license for at least one user. This can be easily done in the Account section.

Installation of the Melbis Shop 6.x server part is possible in two versions:


Option 1: Through your web hosting panel

This is an option when you already have a ready and configured website web server and only need Melbis Shop scripts. You can download them from GitHub: https://github.com/melbis/melbis-shop .

Unzip the archive and copy the scripts to the root of the site. At the same time, pay attention to the system requirements necessary for their correct operation. You will need to install and configure them yourself!

After installing the server scripts, download and install the Melbis Shop client part. Then install the database .


Option 2: Using a Docker Container

This Melbis Shop server installation option is based on containerization technology. In our case, we are talking about a Docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/kasdim/melbis-shop . This is a very convenient option that simplifies the installation of the already configured Melbis Shop kernel and scripts on any server platform with a dedicated or virtual server, such as DigitalOcean or Hetzner .

In this case, there is no need to purchase and install any control panel and configure the DBMS, PHP interpreter, Apache and Ngnix servers.

For the sake of example, we have considered preparing a server based on Ubuntu 24.x LTS from the very beginning. But if you already have your own configured server, you can immediately proceed to the next step: launching Melbis Shop in a container .
