Docker provides an effective solution for deploying Prisme.ai in local or on-premise environments. This guide covers everything you need to quickly deploy and manage Prisme.ai using Docker Compose.

​
Prerequisites

Ensure your system meets the following prerequisites:

  • Docker (version 20.10+) and Docker Compose installed.
  • Minimum hardware: 4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 50 GB disk space recommended.
  • Git installed for cloning the repository.
  • DNS setup: Local wildcard DNS (*.pages.local.prisme.ai) pointed to Docker host machine.

​
Docker Environment Setup

Follow these steps to set up your local Docker environment for Prisme.ai:

1

Clone Repository

Clone the Prisme.ai repository from GitLab:

git clone https://gitlab.com/prisme.ai/prisme.ai.git
cd prisme.ai
2

Configure Environment Variables

Edit the .env file at the root of the project to configure your Docker environment:

Example .env configuration:

PAGES_HOST=.pages.local.prisme.ai:3100
CONSOLE_URL=http://studio.local.prisme.ai:3000
API_URL=http://api.local.prisme.ai:3001/v2
ACCOUNT_VALIDATION_METHOD=auto
UPLOADS_MAX_SIZE=100mb

Ensure DNS entries (studio.local.prisme.ai, api.local.prisme.ai) point to your Docker host IP.

3

Start Prisme.ai with Docker Compose

Launch Prisme.ai and its dependencies using Docker Compose:

docker-compose up -d

This command will start all necessary Prisme.ai microservices and databases (MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch).

4

Verify Deployment

Check running containers:

docker-compose ps

Verify logs for issues:

docker-compose logs -f
5

Access Prisme.ai Studio

Visit the URL defined in your .env file (e.g., http://studio.local.prisme.ai:3000) to access the Prisme.ai Studio.
