ClickHouse Docker Compose recipes

March 12, 2024 · View on GitHub

A list of ClickHouse docker compose recipes

These recipes are provided "AS-IS" and intended strictly and only for local quick and dirty testing.

How to use

Each recipe runs as a pre-configured docker compose setup.

clone this repository locally (cd /opt && git clone https://github.com/ClickHouse/examples)
make sure the path where you clone this repo (in this example /opt) is added to your docker sharing settings
cd into the desire recipe directory (e.g. cd recipes/ch-and-grafana)
run docker compose up to launch the recipe
ctrl+C will abort execution
once done, run docker compose down to tear down the environment

Resources

Make sure enough cpu cores, memory and disk are allocated for docker containers through docker settings. Some of these recipes do use up to 8 different containers.

The configuration files for ClickHouse server, ClickHouse Keeper, and all of the other components that are deployed by the recipes are located in the fs/volumes/ subdirectory of each recipe. For example, to learn how ClickHouse Keeper is configured for the cluster_1S_2R recipe, you would look at keeper_config.xml and the similar files for the other two Keeper servers.

Connecting to ClickHouse

All recipes have the default user configured with no password and full privileges.

If you have clickhouse client on your workstation you can generally run clickhouse client and connect to the Docker ClickHouse instance.

If running a recipe with multiple ClickHouse (example), while the first instance normally binds to your localhost as the default ClickHouse native protocol port 9000 normally, however other instances will use a different port to bind the ClickHouse native TCP connection to your localhost (example where clickhouse-02 binds on localhost port 9001), in this case you will want to specify:

clickhouse client --port 9001

You may want to run clickhouse client within one of more of the containers so that the version of the client matches the version of the server. You can run a command like this:

docker compose exec clickhouse-01 clickhouse-client

Or, to open a shell on the server you can run the following and then look around or run clickhouse client from the shell:

docker compose exec clickhouse-01 bash

Example use

To test ClickHouse with S3 functionalities, launch the ClickHouse and MinIO S3 recipe:
