Docker Compose

Using docker compose for single node deployment

The OSRD project includes a docker-compose.yml file designed to facilitate the deployment of a fully functional OSRD environment. Primarily intended for development purposes, this Docker Compose configuration can also be adapted for quick, single-node deployments.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the deployment, ensure that you have the following installed:

  • Docker
  • Docker Compose

Configuration Overview

The docker-compose.yml file defines the following services:

  1. PostgreSQL: A PostgreSQL database with PostGIS extension.
  2. Redis: A Redis server for caching.
  3. Core: The core OSRD service.
  4. Front: The front-end service for OSRD.
  5. Editoast: A OSRD service responsible for various editorial functions.
  6. Gateway: Serves as the gateway for the OSRD services.
  7. Wait-Healthy: A utility service to ensure all services are healthy before proceeding.

Each service is configured with health checks, volume mounts and necessary environment variables.

Deployment Steps

  1. Clone the Repository: First, clone the OSRD repository to your local machine.
  2. Environment Variables (optional): Set necessary environment variables if you need to adjust some configurations.
  3. Build and Run: Navigate to the directory containing docker-compose.yml and run:
docker-compose up --build

This command builds the images and starts the services defined in the Docker Compose file.

Accessing Services

While all HTTP service are used through the gateway (http://localhost:4000), you can access directly each service using their exposed ports:

  • PostgreSQL: Accessible on localhost:5432.
  • Redis: Accessible on localhost:6379.
  • Core Service: Accessible on localhost:8080.
  • Front-End: Accessible on localhost:3000.
  • Editoast: Accessible on localhost:8090.

Notes and Considerations

  • This setup is designed for development and quick deployments. For production environments, additional considerations for security, scalability and reliability should be addressed.
  • Ensure that the POSTGRES_PASSWORD and other sensitive credentials are securely managed, especially in production deployments.
