# Step by step to your own deployment
At first you need to install [docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/) and
[docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/). Then clone or download this repository. To download the
docker images from GitLab you have to be authenticated against GitLabs container registry. Please execute
`docker login gitlab-registry.tubit.tu-berlin.de`. The requested credentials are the same as for GitLab.
`docker login registry.gitlab.com`. The requested credentials are the same as for GitLab.
`docker login` stores the credentials the users home directory. If you plan to execute docker commands only from root
or via sudo you should run `docker login` with root or sudo as well.

## Round off your deployment with the [proxy](https://gitlab.com/openstapps/proxy)
The backend is exposed on the port 3000 now. This means anyone can import data into your backend and you can only run
one version of the backend at a time. Have a look at the [proxy](https://gitlab.com/openstapps/proxy/) to secure and
round off your deployment. The proxy will allow you to run multiple deployments for different app version on one server
