Deploy NebulaGraph with Docker Compose¶
Using Docker Compose can quickly deploy NebulaGraph services based on the prepared configuration file. It is only recommended to use this method when testing functions of NebulaGraph.
Prerequisites¶
- 
You have installed the following applications on your host. Application Recommended version Official installation reference Docker Latest Install Docker Engine Docker Compose Latest Install Docker Compose Git Latest Download Git 
- If you are deploying NebulaGraph as a non-root user, grant the user with Docker-related privileges. For detailed instructions, see Manage Docker as a non-root user.
- You have started the Docker service on your host.
- If you have already deployed another version of NebulaGraph with Docker Compose on your host, to avoid compatibility issues, you need to delete the nebula-docker-compose/datadirectory.
Deploy NebulaGraph¶
- 
Clone the 3.4.0branch of thenebula-docker-composerepository to your host with Git.Danger The masterbranch contains the untested code for the latest NebulaGraph development release. DO NOT use this release in a production environment.$ git clone -b release-3.4 https://github.com/vesoft-inc/nebula-docker-compose.gitNote The x.yversion of Docker Compose aligns to thex.yversion of NebulaGraph. For the NebulaGraphzversion, Docker Compose does not publish the correspondingzversion, but pulls thezversion of the NebulaGraph image.
- 
Go to the nebula-docker-composedirectory.$ cd nebula-docker-compose/
- 
Run the following command to start all the NebulaGraph services. Note - Update the NebulaGraph images and NebulaGraph Console images first if they are out of date.
- The return result after executing the command varies depending on the installation directory.
 [nebula-docker-compose]$ docker-compose up -d Creating nebuladockercompose_metad0_1 ... done Creating nebuladockercompose_metad2_1 ... done Creating nebuladockercompose_metad1_1 ... done Creating nebuladockercompose_graphd2_1 ... done Creating nebuladockercompose_graphd_1 ... done Creating nebuladockercompose_graphd1_1 ... done Creating nebuladockercompose_storaged0_1 ... done Creating nebuladockercompose_storaged2_1 ... done Creating nebuladockercompose_storaged1_1 ... doneCompatibility Starting from NebulaGraph version 3.1.0, nebula-docker-compose automatically starts a NebulaGraph Console docker container and adds the storage host to the cluster (i.e. ADD HOSTScommand).Note For more information of the preceding services, see NebulaGraph architecture. 
Connect to NebulaGraph¶
There are two ways to connect to NebulaGraph:
- Connected with Nebula Console outside the container. Because the external mapping port for the Graph service is also fixed as 9669in the container's configuration file, you can connect directly through the default port. For details, see Connect to NebulaGraph.
- Log into the container installed NebulaGraph Console, then connect to the Graph service. This section describes this approach.
- 
Run the following command to view the name of NebulaGraph Console docker container. $ docker-compose ps Name Command State Ports -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- nebuladockercompose_console_1 sh -c sleep 3 && Up nebula-co ... ......
- 
Run the following command to enter the NebulaGraph Console docker container. docker exec -it nebuladockercompose_console_1 /bin/sh / #
- 
Connect to NebulaGraph with NebulaGraph Console. / # ./usr/local/bin/nebula-console -u <user_name> -p <password> --address=graphd --port=9669Note By default, the authentication is off, you can only log in with an existing username (the default is root) and any password. To turn it on, see Enable authentication.
- 
Run the following commands to view the cluster state. nebula> SHOW HOSTS; +-------------+------+----------+--------------+----------------------+------------------------+---------+ | Host | Port | Status | Leader count | Leader distribution | Partition distribution | Version | +-------------+------+----------+--------------+----------------------+------------------------+---------+ | "storaged0" | 9779 | "ONLINE" | 0 | "No valid partition" | "No valid partition" | "3.4.1" | | "storaged1" | 9779 | "ONLINE" | 0 | "No valid partition" | "No valid partition" | "3.4.1" | | "storaged2" | 9779 | "ONLINE" | 0 | "No valid partition" | "No valid partition" | "3.4.1" | +-------------+------+----------+--------------+----------------------+------------------------+---------+
Run exit twice to switch back to your terminal (shell).
Check the NebulaGraph service status and ports¶
Run docker-compose ps to list all the services of NebulaGraph and their status and ports.
Note
NebulaGraph provides services to the clients through port 9669 by default. To use other ports, modify the docker-compose.yaml file in the nebula-docker-compose directory and restart the NebulaGraph services.
$ docker-compose ps

If the service is abnormal, you can first confirm the abnormal container name (such as nebuladockercompose_graphd2_1).
Then you can execute docker ps to view the corresponding CONTAINER ID (such as 2a6c56c405f5).

Check the service data and logs¶
All the data and logs of NebulaGraph are stored persistently in the nebula-docker-compose/data and nebula-docker-compose/logs directories.
The structure of the directories is as follows:
nebula-docker-compose/
  |-- docker-compose.yaml
  ├── data
  │   ├── meta0
  │   ├── meta1
  │   ├── meta2
  │   ├── storage0
  │   ├── storage1

Stop the NebulaGraph services¶
You can run the following command to stop the NebulaGraph services:
$ docker-compose down
The following information indicates you have successfully stopped the NebulaGraph services:

Danger
The parameter -v in the command docker-compose down -v will delete all your local NebulaGraph storage data. Try this command if you are using the nightly release and having some compatibility issues.
Modify configurations¶
The configuration file of NebulaGraph deployed by Docker Compose is nebula-docker-compose/docker-compose.yaml. To make the new configuration take effect, modify the configuration in this file and restart the service.
For more instructions, see Configurations.
FAQ¶
How to fix the docker mapping to external ports?¶
To set the ports of corresponding services as fixed mapping, modify the docker-compose.yaml in the nebula-docker-compose directory. For example:
graphd:
    image: vesoft/nebula-graphd:release-3.4
    ...
    ports:
      - 9669:9669
      - 19669
      - 19670
9669:9669 indicates the internal port 9669 is uniformly mapped to external ports, while 19669 indicates the internal port 19669 is randomly mapped to external ports.
How to upgrade or update the docker images of NebulaGraph services¶
- 
In the nebula-docker-compose/docker-compose.yamlfile, change all theimagevalues to the required image version.
- 
In the nebula-docker-composedirectory, rundocker-compose pullto update the images of the Graph Service, Storage Service, Meta Service, and NebulaGraph Console.
- 
Run docker-compose up -dto start the NebulaGraph services again.
- 
After connecting to NebulaGraph with NebulaGraph Console, run SHOW HOSTS GRAPH,SHOW HOSTS STORAGE, orSHOW HOSTS METAto check the version of the responding service respectively.
ERROR: toomanyrequests when docker-compose pull¶
You may meet the following error.
ERROR: toomanyrequests: You have reached your pull rate limit. You may increase the limit by authenticating and upgrading: https://www.docker.com/increase-rate-limit.
You have met the rate limit of Docker Hub. Learn more on Understanding Docker Hub Rate Limiting.
How to update the NebulaGraph Console client¶
The command docker-compose pull updates both the NebulaGraph services and the NebulaGraph Console.
