.. _docker_compose:

====================
Using Docker compose
====================

To deploy a complete production stack using the included Docker compose file
execute::

    docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d

This Docker compose file will provision four containers:

- Postgres as the database
- Redis as the Celery result storage
- RabbitMQ as the Celery broker
- Mayan EDMS using the above service containers

To stop the stack use::

    docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml stop

The stack will also create four volumes to store the data of each container.
These are:

- mayan_app - The Mayan EDMS data container, normally called `mayan_data` when not using Docker compose.
- mayan_broker - The broker volume, in this case RabbitMQ.
- mayan_db - The database volume, in this case Postgres.
- mayan_results - The celery result backend volume, in this case Redis.
