Probo - Open Source Compliance

Probo is an open-source compliance platform built for startups that helps you achieve SOC-2 compliance quickly and efficiently. Unlike traditional solutions, Probo is designed to be accessible, transparent, and community-driven.

🚀 Getting Started

📖 Official Documentation

Prerequisites

• Go 1.21+
• Node.js 22+
• Docker
• mkcert

Quick Start

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/getprobo/probo.git
   cd probo
   

2. Install dependencies:

   # Install Go dependencies
   go mod download
   
   # Install Node.js dependencies
   npm ci
   

3. Start the development environment:

   # Start infrastructure services
   make stack-up
   
   # Build the project
   make build
   
   # Generate the local dev config (writes cfg/dev.yaml)
   make dev-config
   
   # Start the application using development settings
   bin/probod -cfg-file cfg/dev.yaml
   

The application will be available at:

• Application: http://localhost:8080

Testing Custom Domains

To test the custom domains feature locally, add the CNAME target to your hosts file:

# Add this line to /etc/hosts (macOS/Linux) or C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows)
127.0.0.1 custom.getprobo.com

This allows you to test custom trust center domains on your local machine. The generated cfg/dev.yaml sets the CNAME target via custom-domains.cname-target; change CUSTOM_DOMAINS_CNAME_TARGET before running make dev-config to override it.

For detailed setup instructions, see our Contributing Guide.
