This document provides a guide for deploying PenX with Docker Compose.

Create docker-compose.yml

To deploy PenX with docker compose, create a docker-compose.yml file:

version: "3"
 
services:
  penx-self-hosted:
    image: penxio/penx:latest
    container_name: penx-self-hosted
    environment:
      - DATABASE_URL={{postgresql_database_url}}
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"

If you don’t have a URL yet, refer to this guide to get a PostgreSQL database.

Start the containers

Now, execute docker-compose up -d to start PenX service.

docker compose up -d

When a new version of PenX is released, the application can be upgraded with the following commands, run in the directory with the docker-compose.yml file:
