NodeDR OrderRestro

Install NodeDR OrderRestro

Pick your system below. Every route runs the same release and keeps your data on your own machine.

Getting started

Up and running in under 10 minutes

No manual setup, no config files to edit. If you're not comfortable with a computer terminal, any local IT helper can run the one command below for you.

1

Install (or update) with one command

Pick your OS below. One command checks for Docker and git, installs either if missing, then clones the repo and runs the installer — builds both images, starts the stack, and prints the URL when ready.

$
curl -fsSL https://orderrestro.nodedr.com/install-linux.sh | sudo bash

Package for Ubuntu 24.04 and Debian 12 or newer, amd64 and arm64, with systemd. It sets up Docker if needed, runs OrderRestro in Docker and starts it. Read the script first, or download the .deb below and run sudo apt install ./file.deb.

Open it in a browser

Once setup finishes, open the address it prints in any browser and sign in. A short wizard then walks you through your restaurant's name, tables, and first menu items.

$
# Open in a browser:
http://localhost:1995
3

Start taking orders

Add your menu, then go to Point of Sale — tap items, pick a table, send to the kitchen. Any tablet or phone on the same WiFi can be a second till.

$
# From any device on the restaurant's WiFi:
http://<restaurant-computer's-address>:1995
No subscription, no per-seat fees, no data ever leaves your infrastructure. The same setup runs on the computer in your restaurant, or on a rented cloud server if you'd rather manage things remotely — either way it's the same install, the same data, the same login.

On Windows 10 or 11? Skip Docker entirely.

Get NodeDR OrderRestro from the Microsoft Store. It installs as a Windows service that starts automatically at boot, updates itself, and runs sandboxed — no terminal, no Docker, no Node.js install required.

The Ubuntu / Debian package

  • Installs a systemd service that runs the version-pinned NodeDR OrderRestro containers with Docker Compose. It is labelled “runs in Docker” because it is not a native binary.
  • Installs Docker first if it is missing, and checks the download’s SHA-256 before installing.
  • Generates database passwords and secrets on first install into /etc/nodedr-orderrestro/nodedr-orderrestro.env (mode 0600). They survive upgrades, removal and purge.
  • Opens on http://localhost:1995.

Update by running the installer again, or sudo apt install ./nodedr-orderrestro_<version>_amd64.deb. Remove with sudo apt remove nodedr-orderrestro; settings and the Docker volumes (nodedr-orderrestro_pg_data and related volumes) are kept. Back up before upgrading.
