# Docker Compose — installation options

## [Standalone](/en/on-premise/installation/docker-compose/quick-start)

::: tip Single server
All components — the application, PostgreSQL, Valkey, MinIO and nginx — are started with a single docker-compose file on one server. Intended for pilot and small installations.
:::

## [High Availability](/en/on-premise/installation/docker-compose/advanced-setup)

::: tip External services
Only the application containers are started; PostgreSQL, Valkey, the S3 storage and the reverse proxy are deployed separately. Intended for production use.
