Method 2 - Docker Compose Directly

Use this method only if you require direct container management for custom orchestration or staged rollouts. You must manage the shared Docker network and per-service startup ordering yourself.

Prerequisites

• Registry authentication configured in Registry Access Configuration

• .env file created in Environment Configuration

Steps:

# 1. Authenticate with your registry - see Registry Access Configuration

# 2. Create the shared network
docker network create microservices_network

# 3. Deploy the Host 
cd /opt/hivel-onprem/services/vm
docker-compose --env-file ../../config/.env pull
docker-compose --env-file ../../config/.env up -d
docker-compose --env-file ../../config/.env up -d auth-svc   # or a single service

Success: All services show as Up Failure: One or more services show as Exited or Restarting

Back to Method 1 - deploy.sh (Recommended)
