# Running Pinot in Docker In this guide we will learn about running Pinot in Docker. This guide assumes that you have installed [Docker](https://hub.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-mac) and have configured it with enough memory. A sample config is shown below: ![Sample Docker resources](/files/-MP85Vjrrdi47IKGBBGA) The latest Pinot Docker image is published at `apachepinot/pinot:latest` and you can see a list of [all published tags on Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/apachepinot/pinot/tags). You can pull the Docker image onto your machine by running the following command: ```bash docker pull apachepinot/pinot:latest ``` Or if you want to use a specific version: ```bash docker pull apachepinot/pinot:0.9.3 ``` Now that we've downloaded the Pinot Docker image, it's time to set up a cluster. There are two ways to do this: ## Quick Start Pinot comes with quick-start commands that launch instances of Pinot components in the same process and import pre-built datasets. For example, the following quick-start launches Pinot with a baseball dataset pre-loaded: ``` docker run \ -p 9000:9000 \ apachepinot/pinot:0.9.3 QuickStart \ -type batch ``` For a list of all the available quick starts, see the [Quick Start Examples](/release-0.10.0/basics/getting-started/quick-start.md). ## Manual Cluster The quick start scripts launch Pinot with minimal resources. If you want to play with bigger datasets (more than a few MB), you can launch each of the Pinot components individually. ### Docker #### Create a Network Create an isolated bridge network in docker ``` docker network create -d bridge pinot-demo_default ``` #### Start Zookeeper Start Zookeeper in daemon mode. This is a single node zookeeper setup. Zookeeper is the central metadata store for Pinot and should be set up with replication for production use. For more information, see [Running Replicated Zookeeper](https://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/r3.6.0/zookeeperStarted.html#sc_RunningReplicatedZooKeeper). ``` docker run \ --network=pinot-demo_default \ --name manual-pinot-zookeeper \ --restart always \ -p 2181:2181 \ -d zookeeper:3.5.6 ``` #### Start Pinot Controller Start Pinot Controller in daemon and connect to Zookeeper. {% hint style="info" %} The command below expects a 4GB memory container. Tune`-Xms` and`-Xmx` if your machine doesn't have enough resources. {% endhint %} ``` docker run --rm -ti \ --network=pinot-demo_default \ --name manual-pinot-controller \ -p 9000:9000 \ -e JAVA_OPTS="-Dplugins.dir=/opt/pinot/plugins -Xms1G -Xmx4G -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 -Xloggc:gc-pinot-controller.log" \ -d ${PINOT_IMAGE} StartController \ -zkAddress pinot-zookeeper:2181 ``` #### Start Pinot Broker Start Pinot Broker in daemon and connect to Zookeeper. {% hint style="info" %} The command below expects a 4GB memory container. Tune`-Xms` and`-Xmx` if your machine doesn't have enough resources. {% endhint %} ``` docker run --rm -ti \ --network=pinot-demo_default \ --name manual-pinot-broker \ -p 8099:8099 \ -e JAVA_OPTS="-Dplugins.dir=/opt/pinot/plugins -Xms4G -Xmx4G -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 -Xloggc:gc-pinot-broker.log" \ -d ${PINOT_IMAGE} StartBroker \ -zkAddress pinot-zookeeper:2181 ``` #### Start Pinot Server Start Pinot Server in daemon and connect to Zookeeper. {% hint style="info" %} The command below expects a 16GB memory container. Tune`-Xms` and`-Xmx` if your machine doesn't have enough resources. {% endhint %} ``` docker run --rm -ti \ --network=pinot-demo_default \ --name manual-pinot-server \ -e JAVA_OPTS="-Dplugins.dir=/opt/pinot/plugins -Xms4G -Xmx16G -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 -Xloggc:gc-pinot-server.log" \ -d ${PINOT_IMAGE} StartServer \ -zkAddress pinot-zookeeper:2181 ``` #### Start Kafka Optionally, you can also start Kafka for setting up realtime streams. This brings up the Kafka broker on port 9092. ``` docker run --rm -ti \ --network pinot-demo_default --name=kafka \ -e KAFKA_ZOOKEEPER_CONNECT=pinot-zookeeper:2181/kafka \ -e KAFKA_BROKER_ID=0 \ -e KAFKA_ADVERTISED_HOST_NAME=kafka \ -d wurstmeister/kafka:latest ``` Now all Pinot related components are started as an empty cluster. You can run the below command to check container status. ``` docker container ls -a ``` **Sample Console Output** ``` CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 9ec20e4463fa wurstmeister/kafka:latest "start-kafka.sh" 43 minutes ago Up 43 minutes kafka 0775f5d8d6bf apachepinot/pinot:latest "./bin/pinot-admin.s…" 44 minutes ago Up 44 minutes 8096-8099/tcp, 9000/tcp pinot-server 64c6392b2e04 apachepinot/pinot:latest "./bin/pinot-admin.s…" 44 minutes ago Up 44 minutes 8096-8099/tcp, 9000/tcp pinot-broker b6d0f2bd26a3 apachepinot/pinot:latest "./bin/pinot-admin.s…" 45 minutes ago Up 45 minutes 8096-8099/tcp, 0.0.0.0:9000->9000/tcp pinot-quickstart 570416fc530e zookeeper:3.5.6 "/docker-entrypoint.…" 45 minutes ago Up 45 minutes 2888/tcp, 3888/tcp, 0.0.0.0:2181->2181/tcp, 8080/tcp pinot-zookeeper ``` ### Docker Compose Create a file called *docker-compose.yml* that contains the following: {% code title="docker-compose.yml" %} ```yaml version: '3.7' services: zookeeper: image: zookeeper:3.5.6 hostname: zookeeper container_name: manual-zookeeper ports: - "2181:2181" environment: ZOOKEEPER_CLIENT_PORT: 2181 ZOOKEEPER_TICK_TIME: 2000 pinot-controller: image: apachepinot/pinot:0.9.3 command: "StartController -zkAddress manual-zookeeper:2181" container_name: "manual-pinot-controller" restart: unless-stopped ports: - "9000:9000" environment: JAVA_OPTS: "-Dplugins.dir=/opt/pinot/plugins -Xms1G -Xmx4G -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 -Xloggc:gc-pinot-controller.log" depends_on: - zookeeper pinot-broker: image: apachepinot/pinot:0.9.3 command: "StartBroker -zkAddress manual-zookeeper:2181" restart: unless-stopped container_name: "manual-pinot-broker" ports: - "8099:8099" environment: JAVA_OPTS: "-Dplugins.dir=/opt/pinot/plugins -Xms4G -Xmx4G -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 -Xloggc:gc-pinot-broker.log" depends_on: - pinot-controller pinot-server: image: apachepinot/pinot:0.9.3 command: "StartServer -zkAddress manual-zookeeper:2181" restart: unless-stopped container_name: "manual-pinot-server" environment: JAVA_OPTS: "-Dplugins.dir=/opt/pinot/plugins -Xms4G -Xmx16G -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 -Xloggc:gc-pinot-server.log" depends_on: - pinot-broker ``` {% endcode %} Run the following command to launch all the components: ``` docker-compose --project-name pinot-demo up ``` You can run the below command to check container status. ``` docker container ls ``` **Sample Console Output** ``` CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES ba5cb0868350 apachepinot/pinot:0.9.3 "./bin/pinot-admin.s…" About a minute ago Up About a minute 8096-8099/tcp, 9000/tcp manual-pinot-server 698f160852f9 apachepinot/pinot:0.9.3 "./bin/pinot-admin.s…" About a minute ago Up About a minute 8096-8098/tcp, 9000/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8099->8099/tcp, :::8099->8099/tcp manual-pinot-broker b1ba8cf60d69 apachepinot/pinot:0.9.3 "./bin/pinot-admin.s…" About a minute ago Up About a minute 8096-8099/tcp, 0.0.0.0:9000->9000/tcp, :::9000->9000/tcp manual-pinot-controller 54e7e114cd53 zookeeper:3.5.6 "/docker-entrypoint.…" About a minute ago Up About a minute 2888/tcp, 3888/tcp, 0.0.0.0:2181->2181/tcp, :::2181->2181/tcp, 8080/tcp manual-zookeeper ``` Once your cluster is up and running, you can head over to [Exploring Pinot](/release-0.10.0/basics/components/exploring-pinot.md) to learn how to run queries against the data. {% hint style="info" %} If you have [minikube](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-minikube/) or [Docker Kubernetes](https://www.docker.com/products/kubernetes) installed, you could also try running the [Kubernetes quick start](/release-0.10.0/basics/getting-started/kubernetes-quickstart.md). {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
