Docker Compose

Use the following Docker Compose commands to get up and running quickly with FusionAuth, PostgreSQL, and Opensearch:

Install the prerequisites:
- On macOS and Windows, one of the following container management tools:
  - Docker desktop
  - OrbStack (to use Orbstack for docker compose commands after install, run docker context use orbstack)
  - Podman (in the commands below, replace docker with podman)
- On Linux, Docker 23 or later
Download the docker-compose.yml and .env files:
```
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-containers/main/docker/fusionauth/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml && \
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-containers/main/docker/fusionauth/.env > .env
```
```
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-containers/main/docker/fusionauth/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml && \
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-containers/main/docker/fusionauth/.env > .env

Docker

Use the following Docker commands to start just FusionAuth without a database. You'll need to install and configure a database manually.

Install the FusionAuth Docker container:
```
docker pull fusionauth/fusionauth-app
```

Start the Docker container:

docker run -it -p 9011:9011 --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway { kickstartEnabled && "-e FUSIONAUTH_APP_KICKSTART_FILE=\"/usr/local/fusionauth/kickstart/kickstart.json\" --mount type=bind,src=./kickstart,dst=/usr/local/fusionauth/kickstart " }fusionauth/fusionauth-app

Install and configure a database.
