Step by step guide on setting up RudderStack on Docker.

This guide lists the steps required to set up the RudderStack server (backend) in your Docker environment.

The Docker setup is the easiest and the fastest way to get up and running with RudderStack.

RudderStack-hosted control plane

If you’re using a RudderStack-hosted control plane, follow these steps to set up the data plane in your Docker environment:

Download the rudder-docker.yml docker-compose file.
Replace <your_workspace_token> in this file with the workspace token copied above.
Then, open your terminal, navigate to the directory where you want to install RudderStack, and run the following command:

docker compose -f rudder-docker.yml up -d

If you’re using an older version of Docker, run docker-compose -f rudder-docker.yml up.

If you have self-hosted the control plane using the open-source Control Plane Lite utility, follow Docker instructions to set up the data plane.

Once you have successfully performed the steps above, follow the Sending Test Events guide to verify the installation.
