Deploying Sourcegraph executors using Docker Compose
This feature is in beta and might change in the future.
A docker-compose file is provided to deploy executors standlone, or alongside your existing Sourcegraph deployment.
Requirements
Privileged containers are required to run executors in docker-compose. This is because executors require access to the docker daemon running on the host.
Deployment
Prerequisites
- Install Docker Compose on the server
- Minimum Docker v20.10.0 and Docker Compose v1.29.0
- Docker Swarm mode is not supported
- Clone the deploy-sourcegraph-docker
- Edit the
deploy-sourcegraph-docker/docker-compose/executors/executor.docker-compose.yamland update the environment variables - Follow the instructions in the
READMEfor more specific deployment instructions.
Note
Executors deployed via docker-compose do not use Firecracker, meaning they require privileged access to the docker daemon running on the host.
If you have security concerns, consider deploying via terraform or installing the binary directly.
