# Which Problems Are Solved The [compose deployment example](https://zitadel.com/docs/self-hosting/deploy/compose) has improved guidance and a more robust compose configuration. It provides clear paths to a variety of target environments. # How the Problems Are Solved - The introduction sentences make clear that the setup is not intended to be used as is in production. - Info blocks are removed as they rather increased the mental overhead instead of drawing attention to important hints. - The What's next section adds links and hints that help evolving the setup towards production. - The docker-compose.yaml explains variables better, gives hints and provides configuration examples. - The root user is used to write and read the `login-client.pat` file to avoid file permission errors and failing setup steps. - The postgres data is persisted in a named volume, so it survives the PostgreSQL container lifecycle. - `curl` is used instead of `wget`, because `curl` is more likely to already be installed on hosts. # Additional Context - Closes #10432 - Closes #8910 - Implements changes proposed [here](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/10432#issuecomment-3188569674) and [here](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/10432#issuecomment-3191360487). To test the changes, you can't download the compose file as suggested [by the preview doc](https://docs-nuzruxtoh-zitadel.vercel.app/docs/self-hosting/deploy/compose). As the updated compose file is not merged to main yet, you have to use a different download link: ```shell curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zitadel/zitadel/improve-compose-example/docs/docs/self-hosting/deploy/docker-compose.yaml -o docker-compose.yaml ``` --------- Co-authored-by: Copilot <175728472+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Tim Möhlmann <tim+github@zitadel.com>
