Docker Compose

Deploy Rivet Engine with docker-compose for multi-container setups.

Run with ephemeral storage:

Quick Start

services:
  rivet-engine:
    image: rivetdev/engine:latest
    ports:
      - "6420:6420"
    restart: unless-stopped

Run with persistent storage:

services:
  rivet-engine:
    image: rivetdev/engine:latest
    ports:
      - "6420:6420"
    volumes:
      - rivet-data:/data
    environment:
      RIVET__FILE_SYSTEM__PATH: "/data"
    restart: unless-stopped

volumes:
  rivet-data:

Start the services:

docker-compose up -d

Configuration

Environment Variables

Configure Rivet using environment variables in your compose file:

services:
  rivet-engine:
    image: rivetdev/engine:latest
    ports:
      - "6420:6420"
    volumes:
      - rivet-data:/data
    environment:
      RIVET__POSTGRES__URL: "postgresql://postgres:password@localhost:5432/db"
    restart: unless-stopped

volumes:
  rivet-data:

Or use a .env file:

# .env
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=secure_password
RIVET__POSTGRES__URL=postgresql://rivet:secure_password@postgres:5432/rivet

Reference in compose:

services:
  rivet-engine:
    env_file:
      - .env

Config File

Mount a JSON configuration file:

services:
  rivet-engine:
    image: rivetdev/engine:latest
    ports:
      - "6420:6420"
    volumes:
      - ./rivet-config.json:/etc/rivet/config.json:ro
      - rivet-data:/data
    restart: unless-stopped

volumes:
  rivet-data:

Create the config file (rivet-config.json):

{
  "postgres": {
    "url": "postgresql://rivet:password@postgres:5432/rivet"
  }
}

Production Setup

With PostgreSQL

services:
  postgres:
    image: postgres:15
    environment:
      POSTGRES_DB: rivet
      POSTGRES_USER: rivet
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: rivet_password
    volumes:
      - postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    restart: unless-stopped

  rivet-engine:
    image: rivetdev/engine:latest
    ports:
      - "6420:6420"
    environment:
      RIVET__POSTGRES__URL: postgresql://rivet:rivet_password@postgres:5432/rivet
    depends_on:
      - postgres
    restart: unless-stopped
