# Docker Compose [Recommended]
|
|
|
|
Docker Compose is the recommended method to run Immich in production. Below are the steps to deploy Immich with Docker Compose.
|
|
|
|
### Step 1 - Download the required files
|
|
|
|
Download [`docker-compose.yml`][compose-file] [`example.env`][env-file].
|
|
|
|
From a directory of your choice (e.g. `./immich-app`) run the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```bash title="Get docker-compose.yml file"
|
|
wget https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/docker-compose.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash title="Get .env file"
|
|
wget -O .env https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/example.env
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 2 - Populate the .env file with custom values

# Reverse geocoding is done locally which has a small impact on memory usage
|
|
# This memory usage can be altered by changing the REVERSE_GEOCODING_PRECISION variable
|
|
# This ranges from 0-3 with 3 being the most precise
|
|
# 3 - Cities > 500 population: ~200MB RAM

# 2 - Cities > 1000 population: ~150MB RAM

- Populate custom database information if necessary.
|
|
- Populate `UPLOAD_LOCATION` with your preferred location for storing backup assets.

|
|
|
### Step 3 - Start the containers
|
|
|
|
```bash title="Start the containers using docker compose command"
|
|
docker-compose up -d # or `docker compose up -d` based on your docker-compose version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:::tip
|
|
For more information on how to use the application, please refer to the [Post Installation](/docs/install/post-install.mdx) guide.

|
|
### Step 4 - Upgrading
|
|
|
|
When a new version of Immich is [released](https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases), the application can be upgraded with the following commands, run in the directory with the `docker-compose.yml` file:
|
|
|
|
```bash title="Upgrade Immich"
|
|
docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d # Or `docker compose`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:::caution Automatic Updates
|
|
Immich is currently under heavy development, which means you can expect breaking changes and bugs. Therefore, we recommend reading the release notes prior to updating and to take special care when using automated tools like [Watchtower][watchtower].
