Deploying Airbyte with just docker-compose.yaml and varibles

I am working on a project with Airbyte. Is pretty easy the deployment with docker compose following the documentation. I just had to clone the repository and use docker compose up.

When I clone the repository a lot of files are downloaded. When I run docker compose up the images are downloaded too.

I did a test with a new directory containing just the docker-compose.yaml, .env and flags.yml files, required to start the containers. Everything worked fine!

What are the implications of running the containers with just these 3 files?

Thanks in advance!

I checked the number of connectors and functionality, both cases worked perfectly.

Solution

I was able to get it setup by initially following the instructions located here: https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/local-deployment/

After running the ./run-ab-platform.sh command it generates a docker-compose.yaml, flags.yml and an .env file that I copied over to a location with no internet access along with the images.

Here is the files it produced with version 0.50.4

`.env` file

# This file only contains Docker relevant variables.
#
# Variables with defaults have been omitted to avoid duplication of defaults.
# The only exception to the non-default rule are env vars related to scaling.
#
# See https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/blob/master/airbyte-config/config-models/src/main/java/io/airbyte/config/Configs.java
# for the latest environment variables.
#
# # Contributors - please organise this env file according to the above linked file.
