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.

Self-hosting

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

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.
