This page collects tips and tricks for deploying and using Faktory within Docker.
Setup
Read-only Configuration
Faktory expects configuration files in /etc/faktory/conf.d. Mount your config directory into the container at this location using -v /my/local/config/path:/etc/faktory/conf.d.
Mutable Storage
Faktory uses Redis under the covers and looks for its data in /var/lib/faktory/db. Mount a persistent volume here so that your data does not disappear if the container restarts: -v /redis/data/path:/var/lib/faktory/db.
Installation
Installation is very easy with the public Docker images. See the Installation wiki page for full details.
Commercial
If you are using Faktory Pro or Enterprise, these tips will help.
Development
Remember that each release contains a macOS binary for Pro/Ent which can be used without a license to trial functionality and develop your application.
License
Use Docker Secrets and mount the license at /etc/faktory/license or a FAKTORY_LICENSE environment variable.
Repository
The Faktory commercial products have a private repository with Pro/Ent images. See the Pro-Installation and Ent-Installation wiki pages for how to use them.
