danswer/deployment

This serves as an example for how to deploy everything on a single machine. This is not optimal, but can get you started easily and cheaply. To run:

1. Set up a .env file in this directory with relevant environment variables.

   • Use the env.template as a reference.

2. SKIP this step if running locally. If you are running this for production and need https do the following:

   • Set up a .env.nginx file in this directory based on env.nginx.template.
   • chmod +x init-letsencrypt.sh + ./init-letsencrypt.sh to set up https certificate.

3. Run one of the docker compose commands below depending on your environment:

   • For Local:
     • docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml -p danswer-stack up -d --build
     • This will start Web/API servers, Postgres (backend DB), Qdrant (vector DB), and the background indexing job.
   • For Prod:
     • docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml -p danswer-stack up -d --build
     • This will additionally run certbot and start Nginx.

4. To shut down the deployment run:

   • For Local:
     • docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml -p danswer-stack stop
   • For Prod:
     • docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml -p danswer-stack stop

5. To completely remove Danswer (WARNING, this will also erase your indexed data and all users) run:

   • For Local:
     • docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml -p danswer-stack down
   • For Prod:
     • docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml -p danswer-stack down
