How to use in Coolify?

[AlejandroAkbal]

Currently you have to run it through the setup script, which in turn uses Docker Compose

This makes it very complicated to run in open source PaaS like https://github.com/coollabsio/coolify, https://github.com/dokku/dokku and others

How can I use the Docker compose directly? Without any script setup, just defining a Docker compose file and running it, ideally without the need to download this repo, just using online docker images

Hey @AlejandroAkbal, you can of course directly use the docker-compose.yml file in the repository if you don't prefer using the setup script, to replicate a similar setup.

However, as you may notice, there are certain config files being read by the containers. Let's consider the hyperswitch-server service:

• /config directory mounted as a volume:

  hyperswitch/docker-compose.yml

  Line 93 in d07a85c

  - ./config:/local/config

• The config file being specified at startup:

  hyperswitch/docker-compose.yml

  Line 87 in d07a85c

  command: /local/bin/router -f /local/config/docker_compose.toml

The config file used by the app server in the Docker Compose setup contains multiple values, some of which must be specified for the application to even start. These values include things like the database URL, Redis URL, etc., which are absolutely necessary for the application to function.

Similarly, the control center service also requires a config file to be specified:

hyperswitch/docker-compose.yml

Lines 214 to 217 in d07a85c

	environment:
	- configPath=/tmp/dashboard-config.toml
	volumes:
	- ./config/dashboard.toml:/tmp/dashboard-config.toml

Sure, you can also choose to specify the same app server configs as environment variables instead of specifying them in the TOML file. This snippet:

hyperswitch/config/docker_compose.toml

Lines 1 to 4 in d07a85c

	[server]
	port = 8080
	host = "0.0.0.0"
	request_body_limit = 16_384 # Post request body is limited to 16k.

Can be specified using environment variables as (to give you an idea):

ROUTER__SERVER__PORT=8080
ROUTER__SERVER__HOST="0.0.0.0"
ROUTER__SERVER__REQUEST_BODY_LIMIT=16384

But this list would explode when you try to convert all of the configs in the TOML config files to environment variables, which can tend to cause errors.

So, I'd suggest you to use the TOML files as much as possible (or to provide sensible defaults at least), and use environment variables for values that would need to be overridden (such as database URL, etc.). I'd also suggest you to check the README in the config/deployments directory for more information on configs for app server deployments.
