🧩 What is this project?

Razzia is a straightforward and open-source quiz platform, allowing users to host it on their own server for smaller events.

Disclaimer: Razzia is an independent, open-source software project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any third-party quiz platform or service. Any resemblance to other quiz platforms is purely incidental.

⚙️ Prerequisites

Choose one of the following deployment methods:

Without Docker

• Node.js : version 24 or higher
• PNPM : version 10.16 or higher (learn more here)

With Docker

• Docker and Docker Compose

📖 Getting Started

Choose your deployment method:

🐳 Using Docker (Recommended)

Using Docker Compose (recommended): You can find the docker compose configuration in the repository: docker-compose.yml

docker compose up -d

Or using Docker directly:

docker run -d \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -v ./config:/app/config \
  ralex91/razzia:latest

The image is also published on the GitHub Container Registry, if you prefer using it instead of Docker Hub:

docker run -d \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -v ./config:/app/config \
  ghcr.io/ralex91/razzia:latest

Configuration Volume: The -v ./config:/app/config option mounts a local config folder to persist your game settings and quizzes. This allows you to:

• Edit your configuration files directly on your host machine
• Keep your settings when updating the container
• Easily backup your quizzes and game configuration

The folder will be created automatically on first run with an example quiz to get you started.

The application will be available at http://localhost:3000

🛠️ Without Docker

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Ralex91/Razzia.git
