# Docker Installation
Make sure you have both docker and docker-compose(>=`2.0`) installed. On Ubuntu, just run `apt install docker-compose-v2 docker.io`. On Debian, you need to install Docker [using their official installation instructions and custom `apt` repo](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/). Next,

Create a folder for the lemmy files. the location doesnt matter. You can put this anywhere you want, for example under `/srv/`:
```bash
# Create a folder for the lemmy files. the location doesnt matter, you can put this anywhere you want
mkdir lemmy
cd lemmy
```
## Download default config files
These files contain `{{ }}` braces for variables, such as passwords and your domain.
Edit them before starting up lemmy for the first time.
The images will likely be: [dessalines/lemmy:VERSION](https://hub.docker.com/r/dessalines/lemmy) and [dessalines/lemmy-ui:VERSION](https://hub.docker.com/r/dessalines/lemmy-ui)
[Tracking Issue](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3996): For now, using `latest` is not advisable as changes can break your instance. Make sure you are using a specific version number. This is temporary and will be fixed.
Then download default config files:
```bash
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/main/templates/docker-compose.yml
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-docs/main/assets/docker-compose.yml
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/main/examples/config.hjson -O lemmy.hjson
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/main/templates/nginx_internal.conf
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/main/files/proxy_params
```
Edit `docker-compose.yml` and `lemmy.hjson` to replace all occurrences of `{{ domain }}` with your actual Lemmy domain, `{{ postgres_password }}` with a random password and `{{lemmy_port}}` with `10633`.
If you'd like further customization, have a look at the [config file](configuration.md) named `lemmy.hjson`, and adjust it accordingly.

# Updating
To update to the newest version, you can manually change the version in `docker-compose.yml`. Alternatively, fetch the latest version from our [lemmy-ansible](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible) repo:
To update to the newest version, it is usually enough to change the version numbers in `docker-compose.yml`, eg `dessalines/lemmy:0.19.4` to `dessalines/lemmy:0.19.5`. If additional steps are required, these are explained in the respective release announcement. After changing the versions, run these commands:
```bash
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/main/templates/docker-compose.yml
# Then replace the {{ }} vars again
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
```
