Self-Hosting Moose with Docker Compose, Redis, Temporal, Redpanda and ClickHouse

Summary

MooseDocker Compose DeploymentDeploying with Docker Compose Deploying a Moose application with all its dependencies can be challenging and time-consuming. You need to properly configure multiple services, ensure they communicate with each other, and manage their lifecycle. Docker Compose solves this problem by allowing you to deploy your entire stack with a single command. This guide shows you how to set up a production-ready Moose environment on a single server using Docker Compose, with proper security, monitoring, and maintenance practices. Warning:This guide describes a single-server deployment. For high availability (HA) deployments, you’ll need to: Deploy services across multiple servers Configure service replication and redundancy Set up load balancing Implement proper failover mechanisms We are also offering an HA managed deployment option for Moose called Boreal. Prerequisites Before you begin, you’ll need: Ubuntu 24 or above (for this guide) Docker and Docker Compose Access to a server with at least 8GB RAM and 4 CPU cores The Moose stack consists of: Your Moose Application Clickhouse (required) Redis (required) Redpanda (optional for event streaming) Temporal (optional for workflow orchestration) Setting Up a Production Server Installing Required Software First, install Docker on your Ubuntu server: # Update the apt package index sudo apt-get update # Install packages to allow apt to use a repository over HTTPS sudo apt-get install -y \ apt-transport-https \ ca-certificates \ curl \ gnupg \ lsb-release # Add Docker's official GPG key curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg # Set up the stable repository echo \ "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \ $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null # Update apt package index again sudo...
