            docker-compose.yml
          
# Replace every "changeme" value, then:
$ docker compose pull && docker compose up -d

# Open http://localhost:1630 and complete setup

services:
  db:
    image: mysql:8.4
    environment:
      MYSQL_DATABASE: alpha_ledger
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: changeme_secure_db_password
    volumes: [alphaledger_db:/var/lib/mysql]

  web:
    image: ghcr.io/ledgetoptechnologies/alpha-ledger:latest
    ports: ["1630:80"]
    environment:
      APP_KEY: changeme_application_key_32_chars
      DB_HOST: db
    volumes: [alphaledger_data:/var/www/data]
