title: Docker Setup
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## 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), available from docker-hub.
|
|
|
|
The InvenTree docker image contains all the required system packages, python modules, and configuration files for running a containerised InvenTree web server.
|
|
|
|
!!! warning "Docker Compose Version"
|
|
Tthe following guide is designed to work with docker-compose v1.x. There are currently known issues with docker-compose v2 support. If you are having issues with the docker installation guide, check the version of docker-compose you are running with the command `docker-compose --version`.
|
|
|
|
### Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
InvenTree run-time configuration options described in the [configuration documentation](./config.md) can be passed to the InvenTree container as environment variables.
|
|
|
|
The following environment variables for InvenTree server configuration are specified as part of the docker image, and can be overridden if required:
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Description | Default Value |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| INVENTREE_LOG_LEVEL | InvenTree logging verbosity level |INFO |
|
|
| INVENTREE_CONFIG_FILE | Location (within the docker image) of the InvenTree configuration file | /home/inventree/data/config.yaml |
|
|
| INVENTREE_SECRET_KEY_FILE | Location (within the docker image) of the InvenTree sercret key file | /home/inventree/data/secret_key.txt |
|
|
| INVENTREE_WEB_PORT | Internal container port on which the InvenTree web server is hosted | 8000 |
|
|
|
|
The following environment variables are explicitly **not configured** and *must* be passed to the container instance:
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Description |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| INVENTREE_DB_ENGINE | Database engine (e.g. 'postgresql') |
|
|
| INVENTREE_DB_NAME | Database name (e.g. 'inventree') |
|
|
| INVENTREE_DB_HOST | Database server host (e.g. 'inventree-server' if using default docker-compose script) |
|
|
| INVENTREE_DB_PORT | Database server port (e.g. '5432') |
|
|
| INVENTREE_DB_USER | Database user name (e.g. 'pguser') |
|
|
| INVENTREE_DB_PASSWORD | Database user password (e.g. 'pgpassword') |
|
|
|
|
### 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.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration File
|
|
|
|
As discussed in the [configuration documentation](./config.md), 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.md#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.
|
|
|
|

## Docker Setup Guides
|
|
|
|
With these basics in mind, refer to the following installation guides:
|
|
|
|
### Development Server
|
|
|
|
Refer to the [docker development server setup guide](./docker_dev.md) for instructions on configuring a development server using docker.
|
|
|
|
### Production Server
|
|
|
|
Refer to the [docker production server setup guide](./docker_prod.md) for instructions on configuring a production server using docker.
