Running Appwrite!
Appwrite is a powerful platform designed with containerized environments in mind. By using containerization, Appwrite allows you to easily manage and scale your server resources, ensuring that you can meet the needs of your growing user base.
Running your server with Appwrite is incredibly easy. With just a single command, you can spin up your server and start serving requests.
Whether you choose to run Appwrite on your local machine using docker-compose, or on a more robust container orchestration tool such as Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, or Rancher, you'll find that getting started is a breeze.
To get started with Appwrite, we recommend using our docker-compose file. This file will automatically set up all the necessary components for running Appwrite, including the database, API, and dashboard. However, before you can get started, you'll need to have Docker installed on your machine.
If you're not familiar with Docker, don't worry - it's an easy-to-use platform that allows you to run applications in containers, making it ideal for developers who need to manage complex environments with ease.
