Installing with Docker

These included instructions detail how to install a single Altinity Stable build of ClickHouse container through Docker. For details on setting up a cluster of Docker containers, see ClickHouse on Kubernetes.

Docker Images are available for Altinity Stable builds and Community builds. The instructions below focus on using the Altinity Stable builds for ClickHouse.

The Docker repositories are located at:

• Altinity Stable builds: altinity/clickhouse-server

To install a ClickHouse Altinity Stable build through Docker:

1. Create the directory for the docker-compose.yml file and the database storage and ClickHouse server storage.

   mkdir clickhouse
   cd clickhouse
   mkdir clickhouse_database
   

2. Create the file docker-compose.yml and populate it with the following, updating the clickhouse-server to the current altinity/clickhouse-server version:

   version: '3'
   
   services:
     clickhouse_server:
         image: altinity/clickhouse-server:21.8.10.1.altinitystable
         ports:
         - "8123:8123"
         volumes:
         - ./clickhouse_database:/var/lib/clickhouse
         networks:
             - clickhouse_network
   
   networks:
     clickhouse_network:
         driver: bridge
         ipam:
             config:
                 - subnet: 10.222.1.0/24
   

3. Launch the ClickHouse Server with docker-compose or docker compose depending on your version of Docker:

   docker compose up -d
   

4. Verify the installation by logging into the database from the Docker image directly, and make any other necessary updates with:

   docker compose exec clickhouse_server clickhouse-client
   root@67c732d8dc6a:/# clickhouse-client
   ClickHouse client version 21.3.15.2.altinity+stable (altinity build).
   Connecting to localhost:9000 as user default.
   Connected to ClickHouse server version 21.1.10 revision 54443.
