Docker

You can use official ecency/api:latest image to run Vision locally, deploy it to staging or even production environment. The simplest way is to run it with following command:

docker run -it --rm -p 3000:3000 ecency/vision:latest

Configure the instance using following environment variables:

• PRIVATE_API_ADDR
• PRIVATE_API_AUTH
• HIVESIGNER_SECRET
• SEARCH_API_ADDR
• SEARCH_API_SECRET
• REVUE_TOKEN

docker run -it --rm -p 3000:3000 -e PRIVATE_API_ADDR=https://api.example.com -e PRIVATE_API_AUTH=verysecretpassword ecency/api:latest

Swarm

You can easily deploy a set of vision instances to your production environment, using example docker-compose.yml file. Docker Swarm will automatically keep it alive and load balance incoming traffic between the containers:

docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yml vision-api
