# Installing NocoDB with Docker Compose
Docker Compose allows you to define and run multi-container Docker applications. It's a great way to set up NocoDB along with its database in a single configuration file.
## Prerequisites
- [Docker ](https://www.docker.com/get-started )
- [Docker Compose ](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/ )
## Installation Steps
1. Clone the NocoDB repository from GitHub.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb
```
2. Navigate to the docker-compose directory
```bash
cd nocodb/docker-compose/2_pg
```
3. Start the services using Docker Compose:
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
This will start NocoDB along with a PostgreSQL database.
4. Access NocoDB in your browser by visiting `http://localhost:8080` .
## Important Notes
- The provided `docker-compose.yml` files are configured to persist data. Make sure the volumes are properly mounted.
- You can customize the `docker-compose.yml` file to change ports, environment variables, or add additional services.
## Troubleshooting
- If you encounter any issues, check the logs using the following command:
```bash
docker-compose logs
```
- If you need to stop the services, use the following command:
```bash
docker-compose down
```
- Ensure all required ports are available on your host machine.
- For database connection issues, verify the database service is running:
```bash
docker-compose ps
```
