Getting Started

Data Contract Manager (Community Edition) is available as Docker image datacontractmanager/datacontract-manager-ce on Docker Hub.

Deploy to Azure or start Data Contract Manager (Community Edition) locally with Docker Compose:

git clone https://github.com/datacontract-manager/datacontract-manager-ce.git
cd datacontract-manager-ce
docker compose up --detach

Now you can access the Data Contract Manager (Community Edition) at http://localhost:8081.

NOTE: The Docker Compose configuration uses a dummy mail server, so no mails are actually sent. Configure our SMTP host accordingly as environment variables.

Requirements

• Docker Resources: 1 CPU and 1 GB of RAM, more is better
• PostgreSQL version 16 or newer
• PostgreSQL with the extensions available: vector, hstore, uuid-ossp
• SMTP server for transactional emails, such as SendGrid, AWS SES, Azure Communication Services email (Office 365 / Exchange is not recommended, as SMTP Basic Auth is deprecated)

Configuration

Configure an external database and mail server for production use.
