Install and Deploy TiKV Using Docker Compose

This guide describes how to quickly deploy a TiKV testing cluster using Docker Compose on a single machine.

Note: Currently, this installation method only supports the Linux system.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have installed the following items on your machine:

Docker (17.06.0 or later) and Docker Compose
```
sudo yum install docker docker-compose
```

Helm

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/helm/master/scripts/get | bash

Download tidb-docker-compose.

git clone https://github.com/pingcap/tidb-docker-compose.git

Edit the compose/values.yaml file to configure networkMode to host and comment the TiDB section out.
```
cd tidb-docker-compose/compose
networkMode: host
```

Generate the generated-docker-compose.yml file.

helm template compose > generated-docker-compose.yml

Create and start the cluster using the generated-docker-compose.yml file.

docker-compose -f generated-docker-compose.yml pull # Get the latest Docker images
docker-compose -f generated-docker-compose.yml up -d

You can check whether the TiKV cluster has been successfully deployed using the following command:

curl localhost:2379/pd/api/v1/stores

If the state of all the TiKV instances is "Up", you have successfully deployed a TiKV cluster.
