Welcome to RhodeCode rcstack documentation!
RhodeCode rcstack is a multi-node highly-scalable setup to run RhodeCode services. It consists of all RhodeCode services required with additionally Edge Router(Traefik with optional SSL) and Metrics Stack (Prometheus, Loki, Grafana) in single environment using Docker.
Overview
To quickly get and install rcstack run this command
mkdir docker-rhodecode && cd docker-rhodecode curl -L -s -o rcstack https://dls.rhodecode.com/get-rcstack && chmod +x rcstack ./rcstack get-started
Using a docker-compose this setup creates following services for RhodeCode:
Router (mandatory to run):
./rcstack router --help
Traefik aka Edge Router is responsible for handling all outgoing and incoming traffic to whole stack. It can do SSL termination, and handle SSL traffic with certificate management.
Traefik listens to few defaults ports and handles all incoming/outgoing traffic to the stack
- 80 (HTTP)
- 443 (HTTPS)
- 9022 (SSH for RhodeCode traffic)
- 3100 (Loki log aggregation)
Services (mandatory to run):
./rcstack services --help
- Database (defaults to PostgreSQL) Optionally can be replaced by MySQL, or own external database if needed.
- Redis, acts as cache and queue exchange
- ChannelStream - live websocket communications
- Elasticsearch (full text search backend)
- Nginx (static file service) proxy serving RhodeCode static files
RhodeCode (mandatory to run):
./rcstack rhodecode --help
- RhodeCode CE/EE web app
- VCSServer for GIT/SVN/HG support
- SSH server for cloning over SSH
- SVN webserver for SVN protocol support
- Celery workers for asynchronous tasks
- Celery beat for scheduler and automation tasks
Metrics (Optional)
./rcstack metrics --help
- Loki, logs aggregation
- Grafana, metrics Dashboard
- Prometheus, metrics time-series
- Statsd-exporter - statsd to Prometheus bridge
- Node-exporter - machine stats and usage
- Promtail - log scraping
System Requirements
Hardware
2 CPU cores and 2GB RAM is typically sufficient for small teams/projects. We recommend 2-4 CPU cores and 4-8GB of RAM to unlock full potential of all services running in the RhodeCode Stack.
OS Support
rcstack works on any linux distribution, and has a beta support for MacOS. There are two requirements for OS to be able to run whole rcstack.
- Ability to run Docker daemon
- Ability to run a certain standard unix tools like:
- curl
- tar
- find
- gzip
