Docker Standalone

tip

The easiest way to run SigNoz is to use SigNoz Cloud - no installation, maintenance, or scaling needed.

New users get 30 days of unlimited access to all features. Click here to sign up.

SigNoz can be installed on macOS or Linux computers, and there are two ways in which you can install SigNoz:

  • You may execute a script that checks your environment, installs Docker Engine and Docker Compose on Linux, and runs the docker compose up command for you.
  • You may execute the docker compose up command yourself.

Both methods are provided below.

info

SigNoz recommends you to use the install script on macOS and the following Linux distributions:

  • Ubuntu
  • Debian
  • OpenSuse
  • CentOS
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES)

If you're using a different Linux distribution, see the Install SigNoz Using Docker Compose section.

Prerequisites​

  • A Linux or macOS machine. Microsoft Windows is not officially supported.
  • On macOS, you must manually install Docker Engine before you run the install script. The install script automatically installs Docker Engine on Linux.
  • A minimum of 4GB of memory must be allocated to Docker.
  • Git client
  • Ensure that the ports 3301, 4317 and 4318 are open on the machine where you install SigNoz.

Install SigNoz Using the Install Script​

  1. In a directory of your choosing, clone the SigNoz repository and cd into the signoz/deploy directory by entering the following commands:

    git clone -b main https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz.git && cd signoz/deploy/

  2. Run the install.sh script:

    ./install.sh

Install SigNoz Using Docker Compose​

info

Before you install Signoz, ensure that Docker Compose is installed on your machine.

  1. In a directory of your choosing, clone the SigNoz repository and cd into the signoz/deploy directory by entering the following commands:

    git clone -b main https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz.git && cd signoz/deploy/

  2. To install SigNoz, enter the docker compose up command, specifying the following:

    • -f and the path to your configuration file
    • -d to run containers in the background
    docker compose -f docker/clickhouse-setup/docker-compose.yaml up -d

Verify the Installation​

  1. Ensure that your containers are running correctly. To view the status of your containers, run the following command:
docker ps

The output should look similar to the following:

  1. Wait for all the pods to be in running state, and then point your browser to http://<IP-ADDRESS>:3301/ to access the dashboard, replacing <IP-ADDRESS> with the IP address of the machine where you installed SigNoz.

    Example:

    • If you're running SigNoz on your local machine, you should point your browser to http://localhost:3301/.
    • If the IP address of the machine on which you're running SigNoz is 66.82.18.247, you should point your browser to http://66.82.18.247:3301/
info

By default, retention period is set to 7 days for logs and traces, and 30 days for metrics. To change this, navigate to the General tab on the Settings page of SigNoz UI.

For more details, refer to https://signoz.io/docs/userguide/retention-period.

info

The docker-compose.yaml installs a sample application named HotR.O.D that generates tracing data. You can explore the SigNoz dashboard with the data provided by the sample application. If you wish to remove the sample application, follow the steps in the Remove the Sample Application section.
