Self-Hosting

Single Container

A full Rivet cluster can be ran in a single container for use cases like:

Develop your app with a local Rivet cluster
Including in an existing Docker Compose project
Quick, single-node deployments

Running container Actors not supported

Containers require dedicated servers and cannot be ran from within Docker at the moment.

Prerequisites

Docker

Operation

Run with Docker CLI

Start a Rivet cluster:

Run Rivet with:

docker run --name rivet -v "$(pwd)/rivet-data:/data" -p 8080:8080 -p 9000:9000 -p 7080:7080 -p 7443:7443 -p 7500-7599:7500-7599 -p 7600-7699:7600-7699 --platform linux/amd64 rivetgg/rivet

Command Line

This runs Rivet with HTTP, TCP, and UDP networking support.

Data will be stored in a folder named rivet-data in your current directory.

Next, follow the setup guide.

Integrate in to existing Docker Compose

Integrate in to an existing project's Docker Compose with:

services:
  rivet:
    image: rivetgg/rivet
    platform: linux/amd64
    volumes:
      - rivet-data:/data
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
      - "9000:9000"
      - "7080:7080"
      - "7443:7443"
      # Optional: Rivet Guard TCP & UDP
      - "7500-7599:7500-7599"
      # Optional: Host networking TCP & UDP
      - "7600-7699:7600-7699"
