# Install: Docker Compose
Production-ready setup using Docker Compose with security hardening enabled.
## Compose File
See https://github.com/mauriceboe/TREK/blob/main/docker-compose.yml
## Security Hardening Explained
The compose file ships with several hardening options enabled by default:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| `read_only: true` | Mounts the container filesystem read-only; only the two named volumes and `/tmp` are writable |
| `security_opt: no-new-privileges:true` | Prevents the process from gaining additional Linux privileges via setuid/setgid executables |
| `cap_drop: [ALL]` | Drops all Linux capabilities from the container |
| `cap_add: [CHOWN, SETUID, SETGID]` | Adds back only the capabilities needed for the entrypoint to drop privileges to the `node` user |
| `tmpfs: /tmp:noexec,nosuid,size=64m` | Mounts a 64 MB in-memory `/tmp`; required because the container root is read-only |
> **Note (Docker from snap):** If you installed Docker via `snap` (config under `/var/snap/docker/...`), `no-new-privileges:true` will prevent the container from starting with `exec /usr/bin/dumb-init: operation not permitted`. This is a [snap/AppArmor limitation](https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1908448), not a TREK issue — install Docker from the [official apt repository](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/) instead, or remove `no-new-privileges`. See [Troubleshooting](Troubleshooting#container-wont-start-exec-usrbindumb-init-operation-not-permitted).
## Volumes
| Host path | Container path | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| `./data` | `/app/data` | SQLite database, logs, `.jwt_secret`, `.encryption_key` |
| `./uploads` | `/app/uploads` | Uploaded files (photos, documents, covers, avatars) |
### Named Volumes
The compose file above uses bind mounts (`./data`, `./uploads`). You can switch to Docker named volumes, which are fully managed by Docker and not tied to a specific host path. See the [Docker Compose volumes reference](https://docs.docker.com/reference/compose-file/volumes/) for all options.
```yaml
services:
app:
# ... (rest of service config unchanged)
volumes:
- trek_data:/app/data
- trek_uploads:/app/uploads
volumes:
trek_data:
trek_uploads:
```
Docker creates the volumes automatically on first `docker compose up`. Use `docker volume ls` and `docker volume inspect` to manage them.
## Environment Variables
The compose file reads variables from a `.env` file placed alongside `docker-compose.yml`. At minimum, set:
```bash
# .env
ENCRYPTION_KEY=<output of: openssl rand -hex 32>
TZ=Europe/Berlin
ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://trek.example.com
APP_URL=https://trek.example.com
```
Uncomment and fill in the OIDC, initial setup, or MCP variables as needed. For a full description of every variable, see [Environment-Variables](Environment-Variables).
## Image Tags
Three tag strategies are available:
| Tag | Example | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| `latest` | `mauriceboe/trek:latest` | Always the newest release across all major versions |
| Major version | `mauriceboe/trek:3` | Latest release pinned to that major version |
| Full version | `mauriceboe/trek:3.0.15` | Exact release; never changes |
The compose file above uses `latest`. To pin, change the `image:` line:
```yaml
image: mauriceboe/trek:3 # track major version 3
image: mauriceboe/trek:3.0.15 # pin to exact release
```
## Start TREK
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
Check the logs:
```bash
docker compose logs -f
```
## HTTPS and Reverse Proxy
This compose file is designed for deployments where a reverse proxy (nginx, Caddy, Traefik) terminates TLS in front of TREK. To enable HTTPS redirects and secure cookies, uncomment `FORCE_HTTPS=true` and `TRUST_PROXY=1`.
See [Reverse-Proxy](Reverse-Proxy) for complete proxy configuration examples.
