GreptimeDB Cluster

The GreptimeDB cluster can run in cluster mode to scale horizontally.

Deploy the GreptimeDB cluster in Kubernetes​

For production environments, we recommend deploying the GreptimeDB cluster in Kubernetes. Please refer to Deploy on Kubernetes.

Use Docker Compose​

NOTE

Although Docker Compose is a convenient way to run the GreptimeDB cluster, it is only for development and testing purposes.

For production environments or benchmarking, we recommend using Kubernetes.

Prerequisites​

Using Docker Compose is the easiest way to run the GreptimeDB cluster. Before starting, make sure you have already installed the Docker.

Step1: Download the YAML file for Docker Compose​

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GreptimeTeam/greptimedb/v0.9.5/docker/docker-compose/cluster-with-etcd.yaml

Step2: Start the cluster​

GREPTIMEDB_VERSION=v0.9.5 \
  docker compose -f ./cluster-with-etcd.yaml up

If the cluster starts successfully, it will listen on 4000-4003. , you can access the cluster by referencing the Quick Start.

Clean up​

You can use the following command to stop the cluster:

docker compose -f ./cluster-with-etcd.yaml down

By default, the data will be stored in /tmp/greptimedb-cluster-docker-compose. You also can remove the data directory if you want to clean up the data.
