Start SurrealDB in Docker

---

• Install Docker
• Create a volume to store the data

docker volume create my-surreal-db

• Start the Docker container using a specific version of SurrealDB image:

docker run --detach --restart always --name surrealdb -p 127.0.0.1:8000:8000 --user root -v$(pwd):/external -v my-surreal-db:/database surrealdb/surrealdb:v2.0.4 start --user local --pass secret --log trace file://database

For the current list of available docker tags check SurrealDB on the Docker HUB.

• This one will listen on port 8000. You could tell it to listen on some other port. e.g. port 8001: -p 8001:8000.

• Stop the container:

docker stop surrealdb

• Remove the container

docker container rm surrealdb

• Remove the volume

docker volume remove my-surreal-db
