Installing using Docker

If you're already familiar with Docker, you are probably looking for our official Docker images over Docker Hub (opens new window).

• Step 1: Create a docker-compose.yaml file
• Step 2: Pull the latest images
• Step 3: Run the stack

Step 1: Create a docker-compose.yaml file

Create this docker-compose.yaml file in an empty folder.
A fresh new Strapi application will be created where the docker-compose.yaml file is located.

This docker-compose defines our database and Strapi service and links them.

Step 2: Pull the latest images

docker-compose pull

Step 3: Run the stack

Executes Docker image detaching the terminal:

docker-compose up -d

or

Executes Docker image without detaching the terminal:

docker-compose up
