About

AI that handles compliance for you in hours.

Comp AI is the fastest way to get compliant with frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and GDPR. Comp AI automates evidence collection, policy management, and control implementation while keeping you in control of your data and infrastructure.

Community Edition and Comp AI Cloud

This repository is Comp AI Community Edition: a free, open-source compliance platform you can self-host and run on your own infrastructure. It's licensed under AGPLv3 and maintained by the Comp AI team together with the community.

Comp AI Cloud is our fully managed platform. It's built and operated as its own product on a separate codebase, with additional capabilities, managed infrastructure, and hands-on support from our team. The two share a lot of DNA and ideas travel in both directions, but each is developed and released independently, with its own features, fixes, and timelines.

Price	Free	Paid plans

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running, please follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

Here is what you need to be able to run Comp AI.

• Node.js (Version: >=20.x)
• Bun (Version: >=1.1.36)
• Postgres (Version: >=15.x)

Development

To get the project working locally with all integrations, follow these extended development steps

Setup

Add environment variables and fill them out with your credentials

cp apps/app/.env.example apps/app/.env
cp apps/portal/.env.example apps/portal/.env
cp packages/db/.env.example packages/db/.env

Get code running locally

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/trycompai/comp.git

1. Navigate to the project directory

cd comp

1. Install dependencies using Bun

bun install

1. Get Database Running

cd packages/db
bun run docker:up # Spin up docker container
bun run db:migrate # Run migrations

1. Generate Prisma Types for each app

cd apps/app
bun run db:generate
cd ../portal
bun run db:generate
cd ../api
bun run db:generate

1. Run all apps in parallel from the root directory

bun run dev

---

Environment Setup

Create the following .env files and fill them out with your credentials

• comp/apps/app/.env
• comp/apps/portal/.env
• comp/packages/db/.env

You can copy from the .env.example files:

Linux / macOS

cp apps/app/.env.example apps/app/.env
cp apps/portal/.env.example apps/portal/.env
cp packages/db/.env.example packages/db/.env

Windows (Command Prompt)

copy apps\app\.env.example apps\app\.env
copy apps\portal\.env.example apps\portal\.env
copy packages\db\.env.example packages\db\.env

Windows (PowerShell)

Copy-Item apps\app\.env.example -Destination apps\app\.env
Copy-Item apps\portal\.env.example -Destination apps\portal\.env
Copy-Item packages\db\.env.example -Destination packages\db\.env

Additionally, ensure the following required environment variables are added to .env in comp/apps/app/.env:

AUTH_SECRET=""                  # Use `openssl rand -base64 32` to generate
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:password@host:port/database"
RESEND_API_KEY="" # Resend (https://resend.com/api-keys) - Resend Dashboard -> API Keys
NEXT_PUBLIC_PORTAL_URL="http://localhost:3002"
REVALIDATION_SECRET=""         # Use `openssl rand -base64 32` to generate

✅ Make sure you have all of these variables in your .env file. If you're copying from .env.example, it might be missing the last two (NEXT_PUBLIC_PORTAL_URL and REVALIDATION_SECRET), so be sure to add them manually.

Some environment variables may not load correctly from .env. In such cases, hard-code the values directly in the relevant files (see Hardcoding section below).

Cloud & Auth Configuration

1. Trigger.dev

• Create an account on https://cloud.trigger.dev
• Create a project and copy the Project ID
• In comp/apps/app/trigger.config.ts, set:

  project: 'proj_****az***ywb**ob*';
  

2. Google OAuth

• Go to Google Cloud OAuth Console

• Create an OAuth client:

  • Type: Web Application
  • Name: comp_app # You can choose a different name if you prefer!

• Add these Authorized Redirect URIs:

  http://localhost
  http://localhost:3000
  http://localhost:3002
  http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/google
  http://localhost:3002/api/auth/callback/google
  http://localhost:3000/auth
  http://localhost:3002/auth
  

• After creating the app, copy the GOOGLE_ID and GOOGLE_SECRET

  • Add them to your .env files
  • If that doesn't work, hard-code them in:

    comp/apps/portal/src/app/lib/auth.ts
    

3. Redis (Upstash)

• Go to https://console.upstash.com
• Create a Redis database
• Copy the Redis URL and TOKEN
• Add them to your .env file, or hard-code them if the environment variables are not being recognized in:

  comp/packages/kv/src/index.ts
  

---

Database Setup

Start and initialize the PostgreSQL database using Docker:

1. Start the database:

   cd packages/db
   bun docker:up
   

2. Default credentials:

   • Database name: comp
   • Username: postgres
   • Password: postgres

3. To change the default password:

   ALTER USER postgres WITH PASSWORD 'new_password';
   

4. If you encounter the following error:

   HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types...
   

   Run the fix:

   psql "postgresql://postgres:<your_password>@localhost:5432/comp" -f ./packages/db/prisma/functionDefinition.sql
   

   Expected output: CREATE FUNCTION

   💡 comp is the database name. Make sure to use the correct port and database name for your setup.

5. Apply schema and seed:

# Generate Prisma client
bun db:generate

# Push the schema to the database
bun db:push

# Optional: Seed the database with initial data
bun db:seed

Other useful database commands:

# Open Prisma Studio to view/edit data
bun db:studio

# Run database migrations
bun db:migrate

# Stop the database container
bun docker:down

# Remove the database container and volume
bun docker:clean

---

Start Development

Once everything is configured:

bun run dev

Or use the Turbo repo script:

turbo dev

💡 Make sure you have Turbo installed. If not, you can install it using Bun:

bun add -g turbo

🎉 Yay! You now have a working local instance of Comp AI! 🚀
