InvenTree in Docker
InvenTree can be run in a Docker container, which provides a simple and consistent way to run the application. This is the recommended way to run InvenTree in a production environment, without needing to worry about the complexities of setting up all the required software dependencies.
Our documentation server provides the following docker guides, which are a great starting point for anyone looking to run InvenTree in a Docker container:
Docker Basics
The Docker Basics guide provides a good introduction to how InvenTree works in Docker, and includes a lot of useful background information about Docker itself.
Docker Installation
The Docker Installation guide provides a step-by-step guide to setting up a production InvenTree installation using Docker / Docker Compose.
In this blog post, we will follow through the steps outlined in the Docker Installation guide, to get an InvenTree installation off the ground with minimal fuss.
Digital Ocean
We will be using a Digital Ocean droplet to host our InvenTree installation. Digital Ocean provides a simple and cost-effective way to host web applications, and is a great choice for hosting InvenTree.
While we use Digital Ocean for this tutorial, the steps outlined here should be applicable to any cloud hosting provider.
Note: Digital Ocean is a sponsor of the InvenTree project, and provides hosting for our demo server.
