Running locally with Docker
How to run locally with Docker.
Authgear is available as a Docker image. It depends on PostgreSQL and Redis. To run it locally, the simplest way is to use docker-compose.
Let's get started with creating a new directory.
mkdir myapp
cd myapp
First, we need to create authgear.yaml and authgear.secrets.yaml. Authgear itself is a CLI program capable of generating a minimal configuration file.
Run the following command to generate minimal authgear.yaml and authgear.secrets.yaml:
docker run --rm -it -w "/work" -v "$PWD:/work" quay.io/theauthgear/authgear-server authgear init
authgear.yaml and authgear.secrets.yaml are generated in your working directory.
The next step is to create docker-compose.yaml to setup PostgreSQL, Redis, and Authgear.
You can start with the following docker-compose.yaml:
version: "3"
services:
db:
image: postgres:12.3
volumes:
- db_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: "postgres"
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: "postgres"
ports:
- "5432:5432"
redis:
image: redis:5.0
volumes:
- redis_data:/data
ports:
- "6379:6379"
authgear:
# Remember to replace the latest tag with the exact version you would like to use!
image: quay.io/theauthgear/authgear-server:latest
volumes:
- ./authgear.yaml:/app/authgear.yaml
- ./authgear.secrets.yaml:/app/authgear.secrets.yaml
environment:
DEV_MODE: "true"
LOG_LEVEL: "debug"
ports:
- "3000:3000"
volumes:
redis_data:
driver: local
db_data:
driver: local
The three services run in the same network. We have to ensure Authgear can connect to PostgreSQL and Redis.
Check authgear.secrets.yaml and see if it looks like the following:
secrets:
- key: db
data:
database_schema: public
database_url: postgres://postgres:[email protected]:5432/postgres?sslmode=disable
- key: redis
data:
host: redis
port: 6379
# Other entries that are randomly generated.
# They are not listed here because they will be different.
Authgear depends on them so they have to be started first.
docker-compose up -d db redis
Run the database migration:
docker-compose run --rm authgear authgear migrate up
Run everything with:
docker-compose up
