title: Deploying Docker Container
category: Getting Started
chapter: 1
order: 1

Deploying with Docker is the easiest and fastest method of getting started. No prerequisites are required
other than a modern version of Docker.

> The 'latest' tag in Docker Hub will always refer to the latest stable GA release. Consult the GitHub repo
> for instructions on how to run untested snapshot releases.

### Container Requirements (API Server)

| Minimum     | Recommended |
| :---------- | :---------- |
| 4.5GB RAM   | 16GB RAM    |
| 2 CPU cores | 4 CPU cores |

### Container Requirements (Front End)

| Minimum     | Recommended |
| :---------- | :---------- |
| 512MB RAM   | 1GB RAM    |
| 1 CPU cores | 2 CPU cores |

### Quickstart (Docker Compose)

```bash
# Downloads the latest Docker Compose file
curl -LO https://dependencytrack.org/docker-compose.yml

# Starts the stack using Docker Compose
docker-compose up -d
```

### Quickstart (Docker Swarm)

```bash
# Downloads the latest Docker Compose file
curl -LO https://dependencytrack.org/docker-compose.yml

# Initializes Docker Swarm (if not previously initialized)
docker swarm init

# Starts the stack using Docker Swarm
docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yml dtrack
```

### Quickstart (Manual Execution)

```bash
# Pull the image from the Docker Hub OWASP repo
docker pull dependencytrack/bundled

# Creates a dedicated volume where data can be stored outside the container
docker volume create --name dependency-track

# Run the bundled container with 8GB RAM on port 8080
docker run -d -m 8192m -p 8080:8080 --name dependency-track -v dependency-track:/data dependencytrack/bundled
```

### Docker Compose (Automated / Orchestration)

The preferred method for production environments is to use docker-compose.yml with a corresponding
database container (Postgres, MySQL, or Microsoft SQL). The following is an example YAML file that
can be used with `docker-compose` or `docker stack deploy`.

```yaml
version: '3.7'
