Below steps will guide you through deploying Multiwoven on a server using Docker Compose. We require PostgreSQL database to store meta data for Multiwoven. We will use Docker Compose to deploy Multiwoven and PostgreSQL.

Note: If you are setting up Multiwoven on your local machine, you can skip this section and refer to Local Setup section.

​
Prerequisites

All our Docker images are available in x86_64 architecture, make sure your server supports x86_64 architecture.

​
Deployment options

Multiwoven can be deployed using two different options for PostgreSQL database.

  1. Create a new directory for Multiwoven and navigate to it.
mkdir multiwoven
cd multiwoven
  1. Download the production docker-compose.yml file from the following link.
curl -LO https://multiwoven-deployments.s3.amazonaws.com/docker/docker-compose/docker-compose.yaml
  1. Download the .env.production file from the following link.
curl -LO https://multiwoven-deployments.s3.amazonaws.com/docker/docker-compose/.env.production
  1. Rename the file .env.production to .env and update the environment variables if required.
mv .env.production .env
  1. Start the Multiwoven using the following command.
docker-compose up -d
  1. Stopping Multiwoven

To stop the Multiwoven, use the following command.

docker-compose down
  1. Upgrading Multiwoven

When a new version of Multiwoven is released, you can upgrade the Multiwoven using the following command.

docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d
Make sure to run the above command from the same directory where the docker-compose.yml file is present.

​
Accessing Multiwoven

Once the Multiwoven is up and running, you can access it using the following URL and port.

Multiwoven Server URL:

http://<server-ip>:3000

Multiwoven UI Service:

http://<server-ip>:8000
If you are using a custom domain you can update the API_HOST and UI_HOST environment variable in the .env file.

​
Important considerations

  • Make sure to update the environment variables in the .env file before starting the Multiwoven.

  • Make sure to take regular backups of the PostgreSQL database.

To restore the backup, you can use the following command.

cat dump.sql | docker exec -i --user postgres <postgres-container-name> psql -U postgres
  • If you are using a custom domain, make sure to update the API_HOST and UI_HOST environment variables in the .env file.
