Included Dockerfile can be used to build an all-in-one image with all required services installed and running within one container, or separate images for frontend and backend services.
For examples on running the all-in-one image or the multi image deployment see deploy/docker/docker-compose.yaml and deploy/docker/docker-compose-multi.yaml
Environment variables used to configure various aspects of the services are stored in default.env, default-multi.env and override.env. Look into the default files to see which variables can be set and what are the default values. To change the defaults, use override.env. You don't have to use --env-file parameter with doker compose because the files are loaded from within docker-compose.yaml and docker-compose-multi.yaml.
This image contains all services needed to run Lowcoder platform in one container.
This is the default target and can be built by running following command from project root:
DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build -f deploy/docker/Dockerfile -t lowcoderorg/lowcoder-ce .
Image can be configured by setting environment variables.
