Hello. If I already have nginx, postgres, redis running on my server and using the default port, what are the best practices for deploying dify through docker? Which location configurations need to be modified? Can I delete the middleware configuration in docker-compose? How do I need to initialize the database?

Hello @ddbdd! I'm here to help you with any questions or issues you have. I'm a bot designed to assist with bug fixes, answer questions, and support your contributions while waiting for a human maintainer. Feel free to ask me anything!

To deploy Dify using Docker while utilizing your existing nginx, PostgreSQL, and Redis services, follow these best practices:

1. Modify Environment Variables:

   • For PostgreSQL, update the following environment variables in your Docker setup to point to your existing database:

     DB_USERNAME: your_db_username
     DB_PASSWORD: your_db_password
     DB_HOST: your_db_host
     DB_PORT: your_db_port
     DB_DATABASE: your_db_name

   • For Redis, set these environment variables to connect to your existing Redis service:

     REDIS_HOST: your_redis_host
     REDIS_PORT: your_redis_port
     REDIS_PASSWORD: your_redis_password

2. Nginx Configuration:

   • If you are using an existing nginx service, you can remove or ignore the nginx configuration in the Docker setup. Ensure that your existing nginx is configured to route traffic to the Dify application.

3. Middleware Configuration:

   • You can remove the middleware configuration from the docker-compose file if you are not using the middleware services provided by Dify.

4. Initialize the Database:

   • After configuring the environment variables, initialize the database by running the database migration command:

     poetry run python -m flask db upgrade

These steps will help you integrate Dify with your existing services effectively.

We have already provided various optimal solutions, including Docker and source code startup. It is impossible for us to provide optimal support for every unique method. What you need to do is understand the logic of running these services directly, which can be achieved by reading the code.
