## Docker Image
The most convenient method of installing and running InvenTree is to use the official [docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/inventree/inventree).
The most convenient method of installing and running InvenTree is to use the official [docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/inventree/inventree), available from docker-hub.
The InvenTree docker image contains all the required system packages, python modules, and configuration files for running InvenTree.
The InvenTree docker image contains all the required system packages, python modules, and configuration files for running a containerised InvenTree web server.
!!! info "Configuration Files"
All of the configuration files discussed below are available under the *docker* subdirectory of the [InvenTree source code](https://github.com/inventree/inventree)
### Environment Variables
InvenTree run-time configuration options described in the [configuration documentation](../config) can be passed to the InvenTree container as environment variables.
Additionally, the following environment variables are used to control functionality specific to the docker container:
| Variable | Description | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| INVENTREE_WEB_PORT | Internal container port on which the InvenTree web server is hosted | 8000 |
The following environment variables for InvenTree server configuration are specified as part of the docker image, and can be overridden if required:
| Variable | Value |
| --- | --- |
| INVENTREE_LOG_LEVEL | INFO |
| INVENTREE_CONFIG_FILE | /home/inventree/data/config.yaml |
| INVENTREE_SECRET_KEY_FILE | /home/inventree/data/secret_key.txt |
| INVENTREE_DB_ENGINE | postgresql |
| INVENTREE_DB_NAME | inventree |
| INVENTREE_DB_HOST | db |
| INVENTREE_DB_PORT | 5432 |
The following environment variables are explicitly **not configured** and must be passed to the container instance:
- INVENTREE_DB_USER
- INVENTREE_DB_PASSWORD
### Data Directory
Persistent data (e.g. uploaded media files) should be stored outside the container instance.
InvenTree data are stored inside the container at `/home/inventree/data`.
This directory should be mounted as a volume which points to a directory on your local machine.
### Static Directory
Static files are stored internal to the container instance, at the location `/home/inventree/static`
### Configuration File
As discussed in the [configuration documentation](../config), InvenTree run-time settings can be provided in a configuration file.
By default, the docker container expects this configuration file in the location `/home/inventree/data/config.yaml`. If this file does not exist, it will be automatically created from a default template file.
As this config file is inside the "data" directory (which should be mounted as a volume) it can be edited outside the context of the container, if necessary.
### Secret Key
InvenTree uses a secret key to provide cryptographic signing for the application.
As specified in the [configuration documentation](../config/#secret-key) this can be passed to the InvenTree application directly as an environment variable, or provided via a file.
By default, the InvenTree container expects the `INVENTREE_SECRET_KEY_FILE` to exist at `/home/inventree/data/secret_key.txt`. If this file does not exist, it will be created and a new key will be randomly generated.
!!! warning "Same Key"
Each InvenTree container instance must use the same secret key value, otherwise unexpected behavior will occur.

## Production Setup
The InvenTree web server requires a number of configuration options to be specified to connect to the database. These are provided to the docker container(s) using the `environment:` section for each container
With the docker-compose recipe above, follow the instructions below to initialize a complete production server for InvenTree.
In the default configuration, only the following environment variables are required for the `web` and `worker` containers:

### Stop Containers
Stop all running containers as below:
```
docker-compose down
```
### Update Images
Pull down the latest version of the InvenTree docker image
```
docker-compose pull
```
This ensures that the InvenTree containers will be running the latest version of the InvenTree source code.
### Start Containers
Now restart the containers.
As part of the server initialization process, data migrations and static file updates will be performed automatically.
