### Easy Step-by-Step Method

**Step 1: Clone the Repo & Deploy via Docker**

- Clone Postiz from GitHub and follow the Docker deployment guide:  
[https://github.com/gitroomhq/postiz-app/](https://github.com/gitroomhq/postiz-app/)

**Step 2: Configure Supported Social Media Accounts**

- Postiz supports 19 platforms:  
Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, X, Threads, BlueSky, Mastodon, YouTube, Pinterest, Dribbble, Slack, Discord, Warpcast, Lemmy, Telegram, VK, and Nostr.

**Step 3: Use PDF Carousel for LinkedIn**

- Upload images normally and select “Post as image carousel”—Postiz converts them to a PDF behind the scenes.

**Step 4: Enable Multi-Language Support & RTL**

- Postiz now supports multiple languages and right-to-left layouts via Lingo.dev:

**Step 5: Enhance Productivity with the Chrome Extension**

- Use Postiz’s Chrome extension to override LinkedIn/X post modals and make scheduling faster.

**Step 6: Manage OIDC Login (Security Setup)**

- By default, OIDC doesn’t work with `DISABLE_REGISTRATION=true`. To secure:
  - Leave registration disabled for public access.
  - Enable OIDC for existing users only.
  - Invite-based registration is planned for better security.

**Step 7: Fix Common Deployment Issues**

- Having trouble with Coolify or Docker? Open a ticket via their Discord for fast support.

### Quick Tips (Optional)

- Want to automate Reddit or RSS posting? Use Postiz’s RSS-to-social autoposter.
- Prefer video help? Check their documentation with YouTube videos on setting up different providers.

### Important Notes

- 🔐 **Security Fix** : In earlier versions, enabling OIDC while registration was disabled caused issues—now fixed in v1.48.1.
- 📌 The FOSS and paid versions are **identical**. You only need the cloud version if you prefer hosted solutions.
- 🚫 Meta (Facebook/Instagram) _currently_ does not penalize 3rd-party schedulers.
- ⚠ Reddit scheduling is limited—no conversation support, only post scheduling.
- 🛠 Some platforms like Facebook may require app approvals to support link-style posts properly.
