Getting Started: Installing the Horde Server

Introduction

This guide describes a simple local Horde server installation on Windows.

Horde can also be installed via Docker on Linux, both as a single instance and horizontally-scaled service via a container orchestration system such as Kubernetes. For more detailed discussion of these advanced deployment scenarios, see Horde > Deployment.

Prerequisites

• Windows machine with admin access (required for service installation)

Steps

1. Download MSI
2. Run the installer. This will create and start a Horde Server service running under a local user account, which will spawn a bundled MongoDB and Redis instance at startup. The installer will prompt for a port to expose the server on; you may need to allow this port in your firewall to allow other machines to connect to it.
3. Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:13340 (or whichever port you entered during installation).
