Installing using Docker Compose
"Docker-compose" is a tool that can be used to bundle multiple containers into one single deployment. When managing the images and volumes needed for Pledger.io this method is preferred rather than single container runs.
Create a compose file
A compose file describes how the deployment of the various images should happen. To be able to deploy Personal Ledger you can use the compose file below as a template.

This command should be run in the same directory as the compose file. |
This will start the deployment in the background. You can check the status of the deployment using the command below.
1
