Planning Deployment
Deployment Methods
Cloudreve supports the following deployment methods:
| Deployment Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Docker Compose | Use Docker Compose to start multiple containers, which by default includes and enables:
|
| Docker Single Container | Directly use our provided image to start a container, which by default includes and enables:
|
| Process Supervisor | Use a process supervision tool (such as Supervisor) to start the Cloudreve main program. You still need to configure the database and Redis according to your needs. |
Please choose a suitable deployment method according to your needs or preferences. We recommend using Docker Compose or Docker single container deployment because it's easier to manage and provides more features.
Database
Cloudreve supports the following databases:
- MySQL
- PostgreSQL
- SQLite
Without database configuration, Cloudreve will use SQLite to store data. However, SQLite does not support high concurrency, so we strongly recommend using other databases in production environments. If you deploy with Docker Compose, it already has PostgreSQL database configured by default; other deployment methods require additional configuration.
Redis
Cloudreve supports using Redis as a key-value cache, but Redis is not mandatory. Without Redis configuration, Cloudreve will use memory cache and persist the cached data to the cache_persist.bin file before normal exit.
