How to Setup Inventree using Docker?

Containerizing the Inventree app, its dependencies, and the database is part of setting up Inventree with Docker. This makes installation and deployment easier. To run an InvenTree web server containerized, the InvenTree docker image includes all the necessary system packages, Python modules, and configuration files.

Prerequisite: Docker installed on the host system.

Steps Needed

1. The project maintainers provide a Docker Compose file that explains how to set up Inventree and its dependencies as a Docker container. This file is available on the official project documentation or the Inventree GitHub repository.

2. Using a text editor, open the Compose file and go over the setup options. Depending on the unique needs, we need to change setups like storage volumes, ports, or database details.

3. We must create Docker volumes for persistent storage in order to use some Compose files. By doing this, data loss during container restarts or updates is prevented.

4. To start the containers listed in the Docker Compose file, use the docker-compose command. For instance, we can launch the containers by running the following if the Docker Compose file is called docker-compose.yml:

The containers are run in the background by the -d flag.

5. After launching a web browser and going to the relevant URL—which is provided in the Docker Compose file. we can access Inventree once the containers are operational. It usually looks like http://your-server-ip or http://localhost.

6. The initial setup of Inventree may require us to finish setting up an admin account, defining the inventory, and configuring the details of the organization when we first accessed the program.

7. The configuration of extra settings in Inventree might be necessary, depending on the particular needs. This might involve including more vendors, products, places, and more.
