Running Ory with Docker

Reference pattern (deployment topology)

Not a vendor integration — Ory provides official Docker images at oryd/* for local development and CI. For production deployments, prefer the Helm charts. Reference: ory/integrates/containerization/docker.

Run the open-source Ory stack locally or in CI using the official Docker images at oryd/kratos, oryd/hydra, oryd/keto, oryd/oathkeeper. Useful for local development against a self-hosted stack, reproducing CI failures, or trying out version upgrades before promoting to a real cluster.

What's in the repo

A reference docker-compose.yml that brings up the full stack against a local Postgres with mailslurper for email testing.

For production, use Helm

Running these images with docker run or compose works but doesn't give you the lifecycle features (probes, rolling updates, secrets) you want in production. See the Helm charts for production deployments.
