Using Docker Compose

The following guide walks you through self-hosting Fabricate on a single virtual private server (VPS) or a bare metal server.

• Data are stored in local volumes.

You can host Fabricate on any cloud provider, such as:

• Amazon EC2

• Google Cloud VM

• Microsoft Azure VM

• DigitalOcean droplet

You can also deploy Fabricate on a bare metal server.
