# Via docker-compose The simplest way to run the whole setup is by using the included docker compose ## Video guide For a video version of the step-by-step guide below click on the following image.

This can be placed anywhere. Just keep in mind that it requires some disk space as it will also host the volume for the database. ```bash mkdir memento cd memento ``` The next step is to download the config and docker-compose file from github. You can do that manually or using the following commands: ```bash wget -q --show-progress https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alethio/memento/master/docker-compose.yml wget -q --show-progress https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alethio/memento/master/config-sample.yml ``` At the end of this step, your directory should look like follows: ```bash ~/memento ❯ tree . ├── config-sample.yml └── docker-compose.yml 0 directories, 2 files ``` Next step is to create a folder that our docker-compose will mount as a volume for the memento container. We'll use this to host Memento's configuration file. ``` mkdir -p .volumes/memento ``` ### Copy the config and edit it as needed By default, the values for postgres and redis are correct for using with docker compose. ``` mv config-sample.yml .volumes/memento/config.yml # you can use any other text editor here vim .volumes/memento/config.yml ``` ### Start everything ``` docker-compose up -d ``` ### Open the dashboard to check progress ``` http://localhost:3000 ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://alethio.gitbook.io/memento/running-memento/via-docker-compose.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
