# Installing Dendrite using Docker Compose
|
|
|
|
Dendrite provides an [example](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/blob/main/build/docker/docker-compose.yml)
|
|
Docker compose file, which needs some preparation to start successfully.
|
|
Please note that this compose file only has Postgres as a dependency, and you need to configure
|
|
a [reverse proxy](../planning#reverse-proxy).
|
|
|
|
## Preparations
|
|
|
|
### Generate a private key
|
|
|
|
First we'll generate private key, which is used to sign events, the following will create one in `./config`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir -p ./config
|
|
docker run --rm --entrypoint="/usr/bin/generate-keys" \
|
|
-v $(pwd)/config:/mnt \
|
|
matrixdotorg/dendrite-monolith:latest \
|
|
-private-key /mnt/matrix_key.pem
|
|
```
|
|
(**NOTE**: This only needs to be executed **once**, as you otherwise overwrite the key)
|
|
|
|
### Generate a config
|
|
|
|
Similar to the command above, we can generate a config to be used, which will use the correct paths
|
|
as specified in the example docker-compose file. Change `server` to your domain and `db` according to your changes
|
|
to the docker-compose file (`services.postgres.environment` values):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir -p ./config
|
|
docker run --rm --entrypoint="/bin/sh" \
|
|
-v $(pwd)/config:/mnt \
|
|
matrixdotorg/dendrite-monolith:latest \
|
|
-c "/usr/bin/generate-config \
|
|
-dir /var/dendrite/ \
|
|
-db postgres://dendrite:itsasecret@postgres/dendrite?sslmode=disable \
|
|
-server YourDomainHere > /mnt/dendrite.yaml"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can then change `config/dendrite.yaml` to your liking.
|
|
|
|
## Starting Dendrite
|
|
|
|
Once you're done changing the config, you can now start up Dendrite with
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up
|
|
```
