Getting started

Run with Docker

The fastest way to get ashim running:

docker run -d \
  --name ashim \
  -p 1349:1349 \
  -v ashim-data:/data \
  ashimhq/ashim:latest

Open http://localhost:1349 in your browser. Log in with admin / admin.

::: tip GPU acceleration Have an NVIDIA GPU? Add --gpus all to accelerate background removal (2.7x), upscaling (3x), and OCR (1.5x):

docker run -d --gpus all -p 1349:1349 -v ashim-data:/data ashimhq/ashim:latest

Requires NVIDIA Container Toolkit. Falls back to CPU if no GPU is found. See Docker Tags for details and benchmarks. :::

Run with Docker Compose

Create a docker-compose.yml:

services:
  ashim:
    image: ashimhq/ashim:latest
    container_name: ashim
    ports:
      - "1349:1349"
    volumes:
      - ashim-data:/data
      - ashim-workspace:/tmp/workspace
    environment:
      - AUTH_ENABLED=true
      - DEFAULT_USERNAME=admin
      - DEFAULT_PASSWORD=admin
    restart: unless-stopped

volumes:
  ashim-data:
  ashim-workspace:
docker compose up -d

See Configuration for the full list of environment variables.

Build from source

Requirements: Node.js 22+, pnpm 9+, Python 3.10+

git clone https://github.com/ashim-hq/ashim.git
cd ashim
pnpm install

Start the dev server:

pnpm dev

This starts both the API server and the React frontend. Open http://localhost:1349 in your browser.

What you can do

The sidebar lists every tool. Pick one, upload an image, tweak the settings, download the result.

Some things to try first:

  • Resize an image to specific dimensions or a percentage
  • Remove a background with the AI tool
  • Compress a photo before uploading it somewhere
  • Convert between formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF, HEIC)
  • Batch process a folder of images through any tool
  • Save results to the Files page for later

Every tool is also available through the REST API, so you can script workflows or plug ashim into other systems.
