Deploy using Docker Compose

You can deploy this application using Docker Compose. To do so, follow these steps.

Requirements

• Docker

Database

Please refer to Choosing a database docs to select and run a database for the application.

You can choose between SQLite and MySQL/MariaDB.

Create a .env.prod file

Use the .env.sample file and rename it to .env.prod (cp .env.sample .env.prod) and populate all its values to the desired ones.

Deploy the application with Docker Compose

docker-compose up

This command will deploy all the containers required by the application (backend, frontend, database, redis and celery).

It will take the values from the .env.prod file.

Configuring the volumes (optional)

By default, the volumes will be handled automatically by Docker itself (check the docker-compose.yml file). If you want to point them to your own paths, you can modify this file to specify it.

An example pointing to your own path:

volumes:
  - /volume2/buho-stocks/logs:/app/media
