Docker Compose deployment

This guide covers taking your local Docker Compose setup to production.

Production environment

Update docker.env for production:

NODE_ENV=production
NEXTAUTH_URL=https://your-domain.com

Reverse proxy

Add a reverse proxy (nginx, Caddy, or Traefik) in front of the web and API services for HTTPS termination. Point the proxy to:

• Web: port 8260
• API: port 8261

Note: NEXT_PUBLIC_TAMBO_API_URL must be reachable from the browser and should point to the public URL exposed by your reverse proxy for the API. http://localhost:8261 is fine for local development, but in production you should set it to your public API URL (for example https://api.your-domain.com or https://your-domain.com/api), not localhost or an internal Docker hostname.

Building and pushing images

Build the Docker images locally:

./scripts/cloud/tambo-build.sh

Tag and push to your container registry:

docker tag tambo-web:latest your-registry/tambo-web:latest
docker tag tambo-api:latest your-registry/tambo-api:latest
docker push your-registry/tambo-web:latest
docker push your-registry/tambo-api:latest
