Installing Gekko using Docker #

Installing and running gekko in a docker container for use on the same machine is simple with the following commands:

$ docker-compose build
$ docker-compose up -d

You can now find your gekko instance running on localhost:3000.

Installing for external access #

However if you want to run Gekko on another machine (in the cloud, on a server), you need to specify the host machine and its port like so:

$ docker-compose build
$ HOST=mydomain.com PORT=3001 docker-compose up -d

You can now find your gekko instance running on mydomain.com:3001.

To see logs: docker logs -f gekko_gekko_1. View which dockers are running by executing docker ps.
