Production ========== .. _production-security-warning: .. warning:: The :doc:`demo` tutorial is **NOT SECURE BY DEFAULT**. It uses public, hardcoded passwords and secrets for demonstration purposes only. If you use the demo as a structural template, you MUST replace all default secrets before deploying your instance. Failure to do so will result in a vulnerable production environment. .. contents:: |toctitle| :local: Status ------ As of Dataverse 6.8, when we introduced image tagging per version (see the :ref:`app-image-supported-tags` section for the :ref:`application image `), we feel that the images described in this guide are ready for production use. Enjoy! The images and the documentation is not perfect, of course. For now, we recommend following the :doc:`demo` as a structural template. Note that instead of "latest" you might want to select a specific version. Again see :ref:`app-image-supported-tags`. The Dataverse guides were originally written with a non-Docker installation in mind so we'd like rewrite them with both Docker and non-Docker in mind. This is a big job, obviously. 😅 We know we'd like to write more about ports. We'd like to explain `how to set up Rserve `_. Etc., etc. To talk about your ideas for making the images and docs better for production, please feel free to join the `containers for production `_ topic or join a working group meeting (see :ref:`helping-containers`). Limitations ----------- - Multiple apps servers are not supported. See :ref:`multiple-app-servers` for more on this topic. How to Help ----------- Please try the images (see :doc:`demo`) and give feedback (see :ref:`helping-containers`)! ❤️ Alternatives ------------ The traditional (non-Docker) installation method is described in the :doc:`/installation/index`.
