⁠Significant News

v0.6.0 Weather Forcasting - October 5, 2026

You can see an overview of the weather forecast for your area when you're scheduling out your outfits. Want to know more about a specific important date? Tap on the weather preview label on the calendar day card and you'll see more detail about the weather forecast for that day!

v0.4.0 Wardrobe Sharing - June 13, 2026

You can now share your Libre Closet wardrobe with your friends, or for the stylists out there, you may now use this tool to manage your client's wardrobes!

To share your wardrobe, navigate to your profile (either through the hamburger menu on mobile, or the navbar on desktop), click on "Wardrobe Sharing", then click "Create Invite Link", copy the link and send it to your friend. Have them do the same if you would like to share both ways.

Or from the same wardrobe sharing page, if you would like grant someone else permissions to manage your wardrobe then select the permission drop down and choose "Can edit", copy the invite link, and send it to your stylist friends.

⁠Performance

Libre Closet is now more performant, making more efficient use of your existing hardware!

We've refactored the server⁠ resulting in nearly a 2x throughput increase, almost half the latency, and the lighthouse speed score has gone from 68/100⁠ to 99/100⁠.

⁠Self-hosting

Libre Closet requires just one, easy to deploy and host docker container! It defaults to sqlite, and local filestorage so you don't need to worry about the headache of hosting and maintaining a postgres db and redis instance.

⁠Docker (recommended)

# SQLite + local storage (simplest)
docker run -d \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -v librecloset_data:/app/data \
  ghcr.io/lazztech/libre-closet

⁠docker-compose

services:
  libre-closet:
    image: ghcr.io/lazztech/libre-closet
    ports:
      - '3000:3000'
    volumes:
      - librecloset_data:/app/data
    environment:
      AUTH_ENABLED: 'false'
      PWA_ENABLED: 'true'
      DATA_PATH: /app/data
    restart: unless-stopped

volumes:
  librecloset_data:

⁠Build from source

git clone https://github.com/lazztech/libre-closet
cd libre-closet
cp .env .env.local     # override defaults locally (gitignored)
npm install
npm run start:prod

⁠Configuration

.env contains committed defaults. Override any value via a .env.local file (gitignored) or by passing real environment variables to Docker.

Generate JWT secret:

openssl rand -base64 60

Generate VAPID keys:

npx web-push generate-vapid-keys

⁠Development

⁠Prerequisites

• Node (see .nvmrc) - install via nvm⁠
• Docker (optional, for Postgres testing)

nvm install && nvm use
npm install
cp .env .env.local     # override defaults locally (gitignored)
npm run start:dev

⁠Scripts

npm run start:dev       # watch mode
npm run start:prod      # production
npm run test            # unit tests
npm run test:e2e        # Playwright end-to-end
npm run test:cov        # coverage
npm run precommit       # lint + test + lighthouse (run before committing)

⁠Migrations

# SQLite (build first due to config differences)
npm run build
npx mikro-orm migration:create --config mikro-orm.sqlite.cli-config.ts

# PostgreSQL
npx mikro-orm migration:create --config mikro-orm.postgres.cli-config.ts

⁠Docker build

# Build image
docker build --no-cache -f docker/Dockerfile . -t libre-closet:latest

# Cross-compile for linux/amd64 (e.g. building on Apple Silicon for a VPS)
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 --no-cache -f docker/Dockerfile . -t libre-closet:latest

⁠Deployment recommendations

For most self-hosters: deploy to a VPS via Coolify⁠ or Portainer using the docker-compose above with SQLite + local storage. SQLite handles thousands of users without issue - see DjangoCon 2023: Use SQLite in Production⁠.

If you need horizontal scaling later, switch to S3-compatible storage and add Litestream⁠ for streaming SQLite backups before considering a PostgreSQL migration.
