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

RudderStack Open Source

Follow these steps to set up the data plane if you’re using RudderStack Open Source:

  1. Download the rudder-docker.yml docker-compose file.
  2. Replace <your_workspace_token> in this file with your workspace token.
  3. In 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 the following command:

docker-compose -f rudder-docker.yml up

Workspace token

The workspace token is a unique identifier of your RudderStack workspace. RudderStack uses this token to automatically read your source-destination configurations when you set up and run the data plane.

  1. Log in to your RudderStack Open Source dashboard.
  2. Copy your workspace token from Settings > Workspace:

Self-hosted control plane

If you are self-hosting your control plane using Control Plane Lite, see Docker instructions to set up your data plane.

danger

Control Plane Lite is now deprecated and does not work with the latest rudder-server versions.

To set up and manage your connections, using the RudderStack-hosted control plane is strongly recommended.
