Get Started with VesselNow
Follow these steps to run VesselNow on your server, obtain a license, and go live.
-
1 Run VesselNow with Docker
VesselNow runs in Docker on your own server, NAS, or appliance. Pull the image and start the container with a persistent data volume so your config and data survive updates.
Example:
docker pull gmtsgroup/vesselnow docker run -d --name vesselnow -p 8000:8000 \ -v vesselnow-data:/data \ -e VESSELNOW_LICENSE_SERVER=https://vesselnow.io/wp-json/vesselnow/v1 \ gmtsgroup/vesselnow
Docker Hub: gmtsgroup/vesselnow
Use your own docker-compose or the in-app Settings to configure ports, volumes, and environment. After starting, open the web interface (e.g. http://localhost:8000).

2 Get a license
Contact us to purchase a license or request a trial. We offer subscription (monthly, cancel anytime) and perpetual licenses (one-time with 36 months of free updates and online access).
Email info@gmts.io with subject “VesselNow License” for licensing and trials.

3 Enter your license and run
When your VesselNow instance is running, open the web interface. On first run you will see a license gate: use Open Settings to enter your license key, or Register for a trial if you have a trial code.
Once the license is validated, the full dashboard, NMEA, FleetView, and VesselNow TV features are available. You can manage crew, tenders, schedule, and alerts from the app and from vesselnow.io when logged in.
