- Add docker-compose.yml (backend + redis + postgres) - Add setup.sh (automated installation script) - Add DEPLOYMENT.md (deployment guide) Closes BasedHardware#3919
Greptile SummaryThis PR adds a one-click Docker Compose deployment for the omi backend, including
Confidence Score: 1/5Not safe to merge — the deployment will fail at the Docker build step, and even if patched past that, the backend container will start without its required credentials. There is a P0 build-breaking issue (wrong Docker build context) alongside multiple P1 issues (missing env_file, wrong Redis variable, unused PostgreSQL service, wrong health URL, dev-mode volume mount). The primary user path — running bash setup.sh to get a working backend — does not succeed end-to-end with the current code. docker-compose.yml requires the most attention: build context, env_file, Redis variables, and the PostgreSQL service all need correction before the deployment is functional.

Docker build will fail due to wrong build context
The build context is set to ./backend, but backend/Dockerfile copies files using paths relative to the repository root — specifically COPY backend/requirements.txt /tmp/requirements.txt and COPY backend/ .. When the build context is ./backend, Docker cannot find a backend/ subdirectory inside it, so both COPY instructions will fail with COPY failed: file not found.
The fix is to use the repository root as context and point to the Dockerfile explicitly:
| build: | |
| context: ./backend | |
| dockerfile: Dockerfile | |
| ports: | |
| build: | |
| context: . | |
| dockerfile: backend/Dockerfile |
| environment: | ||

env_file missing — API keys never reach the container
setup.sh generates a .env file with FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID, FIREBASE_PRIVATE_KEY, PINECONE_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, etc. However, those values are never injected into the backend container because there is no env_file: directive. Without this, the container only receives REDIS_URL and DATABASE_URL, and Firebase/Pinecone/OpenAI initialization will fail at startup.
Add an env_file entry to the backend service so the generated .env is loaded:
env_file:
- .env| environment: | ||
| - REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6379 | ||
| - DATABASE_URL=postgresql://omi:omi@postgres:5432/omi |

Wrong Redis environment variable name
The backend reads Redis connection details via REDIS_DB_HOST, REDIS_DB_PORT, and REDIS_DB_PASSWORD (see backend/database/redis_db.py line 13). The REDIS_URL variable set here is not consumed by the application, so the backend will silently fail to connect to Redis.
Replace REDIS_URL with the three variables the backend actually reads:
- REDIS_DB_HOST=redis
- REDIS_DB_PORT=6379
- REDIS_DB_PASSWORD=| postgres: | ||
| image: postgres:15-alpine | ||

| volumes: | ||
| - postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data |

PostgreSQL is not used by the backend
A grep over all backend Python files shows zero references to DATABASE_URL or postgres. The omi backend uses Firestore (Firebase) for persistence, not PostgreSQL. Adding this service adds resource overhead and suggests a supported integration that doesn't exist. The DATABASE_URL environment variable set in the backend service also goes unused.

Volume mount overrides Docker build artifacts
Mounting ./backend:/app replaces the container's /app directory (populated during docker build) with the host filesystem. This means the uvicorn main:app process runs the host source files directly rather than the immutable built image. Any build-time changes (e.g., compiled assets, generated files) are hidden. For a "one-click deployment" this is a development-mode pattern, not a production one. Consider removing this volume for a true deployment setup.

The health endpoint in the omi backend is registered at /v1/health (see backend/routers/other.py), not /health. This curl call will always receive an HTTP 404 and print the warning, making the deployment appear broken on every successful run.

Only
docker-compose (v1) is checked; modern Docker ships docker compose (v2)
Since Docker Desktop 3.x, Docker Compose ships as a CLI plugin (docker compose) rather than a standalone binary. Many recent Linux installs no longer include the legacy docker-compose binary. If docker-compose is absent but docker compose is available, the script exits with an error even though Compose is perfectly functional.
Consider checking for both:
if command -v docker-compose >/dev/null 2>&1; then
COMPOSE_CMD="docker-compose"
elif docker compose version >/dev/null 2>&1; then
COMPOSE_CMD="docker compose"
else
echo "❌ Docker Compose not installed. Install: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/"; exit 1
fiThen use $COMPOSE_CMD throughout the script.

Generated
.env is missing many required variables
backend/.env.template defines ~30+ required variables (GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS, HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN, BUCKET_SPEECH_PROFILES, SONIOX_API_KEY, DEEPGRAM_API_KEY, ADMIN_KEY, ENCRYPTION_SECRET, etc.) that the backend expects at runtime. The .env file generated here only includes 5 keys. Users following this guide will hit runtime errors the moment any feature requiring these missing variables is exercised.
At minimum, the generated template should mirror backend/.env.template and mark each optional/required key with a comment.
