romanvaxman/bananana-brain repository overview

⁠bananana brain

Your own control room for servers, Macs and PCs, from bananana.dev⁠ (built by CTF Designs, LLC). The brain keeps your machines' live readings, alerts, automations, files, terminals and history on your own hardware, and you reach it from anywhere at your-name.bananana.dev and in the bananana.dev apps for iPhone and Android. It connects out through an end-to-end encrypted relay: no ports to open, no VPN.

⁠Run it

1. Create a free account at https://bananana.dev/start⁠ and copy the setup token (it starts with bst_). It's only used on the first start.
2. Start the brain:

docker run -d --name bananana --restart unless-stopped -v bananana:/data -e BANANANA_SETUP_TOKEN=bst_… romanvaxman/bananana-brain

Or with Compose: https://bananana.dev/compose.yaml⁠. docker logs bananana shows your brain's address once it's connected. Then add your other machines from its Nodes page.

• Data: everything is in /data (identity, settings, users, history). Back it up. A nightly backup goes to /data/backups, or to /backups if you mount a folder there.
• Updating: docker pull romanvaxman/bananana-brain, then start the container again with the same volume.
• Unraid: install bananana-brain from Community Applications.
• TrueNAS, Synology, QNAP and more: https://bananana.dev/help/docker⁠

Tags: latest, a date version (2026.11.2) and the release's commit. Images for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64.
