This guide walks through deploying RELAI on infrastructure you control, using Docker Compose. It’s the simple, single-node path: one host running the backend, dashboard, database, cache, and background worker as containers.

Prerequisites

Docker, ports, and API keys you’ll need before you start.

Pulling the images

Authenticate to Docker Hub and pull the RELAI images.

Configuration

Set up your .env file and generate the required secrets.

Starting the services

Bring the stack up with Docker Compose.

​
What gets deployed

1

Database

A MySQL container that stores application data.
2

Redis

A Redis container used as the Celery message broker.
3

Backend

The RELAI backend, served with Uvicorn, plus one-off migration and bootstrap containers that run on startup.
4

Celery worker

Runs background jobs (queued via Redis) using the same backend image.
5

Dashboard

The RELAI dashboard, a static frontend served by nginx.
