Install with Docker Compose

Ptolemy is an open-source, free tool with several different deployment options. Below is a quickstart guide on how to deploy Ptolemy on your local machine with Docker.

Deploy with Docker

To deploy Ptolemy with Docker, you must have Docker installed on your computer. See here for instructions on how to install Docker.

First, make a directory and navigate to it:

mkdir ptolemy-quickstart && cd ptolemy-quickstart

Then, download the docker-compose.yml file:

wget -O docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PtolemyLovesYou/ptolemy/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml

Run docker compose to start the containers:

docker compose up -d # omit the -d flag to keep the docker compose logs in your terminal

To verify that everything is up and running, navigate to http://localhost:8501 in your web browser and verify that the UI loads.
