One-Click Docker Setup Guide

This document provides detailed information about the one-click setup script for Hyperswitch.

Overview

The setup.sh script simplifies the process of setting up Hyperswitch in a local development or testing environment. It provides an interactive setup experience that handles checking prerequisites, configuring the environment, and starting the necessary services.

Features

• Prerequisite Checking: Verifies Docker/Podman and Docker/Podman Compose installation.
• Port Availability Check: Ensures required ports are available to avoid conflicts.
• Configuration Management: Automatically sets up necessary configuration files.
• Multiple Deployment Profiles: Choose the right setup for your needs.
• Health Checking: Verifies services are running and healthy.
• Detailed Feedback: Provides clear output and helpful error messages.

Deployment Profiles

The script offers four deployment profiles to match your needs:

1. Standard (Recommended)

• Services: App server + Control Center + Web SDK (includes PostgreSQL, Redis)
• Best for: General development and testing
• Resources required: Medium

2. Full

• Services: Standard + Monitoring (Grafana, Prometheus) + Scheduler
• Best for: Complete system testing
• Resources required: Higher

3. Standalone App Server

• Services: Hyperswitch server, PostgreSQL, Redis
• Best for: Testing basic API functionality
• Resources required: Lower

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Docker not running

   • Error: "Cannot connect to the Docker/Podman daemon"
   • Solution: Start the Docker daemon/Docker Desktop or Use Orbstack.

2. Port conflicts

   • Error: "The following ports are already in use: [port list]"
   • Solution: Stop services using those ports or choose different ports.

3. Server not becoming healthy

   • Error: "Hyperswitch server did not become healthy in the expected time."
   • Solution: Check logs with docker compose logs hyperswitch-server or podman compose logs hyperswitch-server.

Viewing Logs

To view logs for any service:

docker compose logs -f [service-name]

Common service names:

• hyperswitch-server
• pg (PostgreSQL)
• redis-standalone
• hyperswitch-control-center

Advanced Usage

Environment Variables

You can set these environment variables before running the script:

• DRAINER_INSTANCE_COUNT: Number of drainer instances (default: 1)
• REDIS_CLUSTER_COUNT: Number of Redis cluster nodes (default: 3)

Example:

export DRAINER_INSTANCE_COUNT=2
./setup.sh

Manual Service Control

After setup, you can manually control services:

• Stop all services: docker/podman compose down
• Start specific services: docker/podman compose up -d [service-name]
• Restart a service: docker/podman compose restart [service-name]

Next Steps

After running the setup script:

1. Verify the server is running: curl --head --request GET 'http://localhost:8080/health'.
2. Access the Control Center at http://localhost:9000.
3. Configure payment connectors in the Control Center.
4. Try a test payment using the demo store.
