At the moment i do not have any plans of providing a way of running it without docker. Mainly because of time to support that.
Since it is a Spring-Boot-Application it would be possible to create a jar file which you can execute or deploy as a service with systemd. But then you have to make sure all prerequisites are also running. That is the one thing I like about docker and especially docker compose.
But short answer: Yes, it is possible but you are on your own at the moment. I would help and maybe we can add a section to the readme how to do it.

Not sure if you know about it and I haven’t used it myself yet, but being able to create native executables could be relatively easy with this
docs.spring.io/spring-boot/…/index.html

I used that once on a past gig and it wasn’t very pleasant to use. Especially in combination with spring boot. But that is a couple of years ago. Maybe things have changed. I personally would prefer the executable jar from spring boot. With that you do not have to make that many steps to make it work. But thanks for the suggestion :)
