RoxaRU
install

Deployed in a minute

No JVM, no ZooKeeper, no external databases. All you need is Docker. One command brings everything up together: the broker, the web console, storage and monitoring.

  1. 1

    Grab the bundle

    The deploy/onprem directory from the distribution — docker-compose files and configs.

  2. 2

    Set the passwords

    Copy .env.example → .env and fill in the passwords (MinIO, console sign-in).

  3. 3

    Bring it up

    “docker compose up -d” — the broker, web console, storage and monitoring start together.

#  the production stack in one command
$ cd deploy/onprem
$ cp .env.example .env      # set the passwords
$ docker compose up -d
