Kodit

--- title: Deployment description: Deploying Kodit with Docker Compose and Kubernetes. weight: 20 --- Kodit is packaged as a Docker container so you can run it on any popular orchestration platform. This page describes how to deploy Kodit as a service. ## Deploying With Docker Compose Create a [docker-compose file](https://github.com/helixml/kodit/tree/main/docs/reference/deployment/docker-compose.yaml) that specifies Kodit and Vectorchord containers. Replace the latest tag with a version. Replace any API keys with your own or configure internal endpoints. Then run Kodit with `docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml up -d`. For more instructions see the [Docker Compose documentation](https://docs.docker.com/compose/). Here is an example: {{< code file="docker-compose.yaml" >}} ## Deploying With Kubernetes To deploy with Kubernetes we recommend using a templating solution like Helm or Kustomize. Here is a simple [raw Kubernetes manifest](https://github.com/helixml/kodit/tree/main/docs/reference/deployment/kubernetes.yaml) to help get you started. Remember to pin the Kodit container at a specific version and update the required API keys. Deploy with `kubectl -n kodit apply -f kubernetes.yaml` {{< code file="kubernetes.yaml" >}} ### Deploying With a Kind Kubernetes Cluster [Kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/) is a k8s cluster that runs in a Docker container. So it's great for k8s development. 1. `kind create cluster` 2. `kubectl -n kodit apply -f kubernetes.yaml` ## Configuration Please see the [configuration reference](/kodit/reference/configuration/index.md) for full details and examples.
