# Self-host Inngest with Docker

> A durable workflow engine for background jobs, queues, cron and event-driven functions, backed by Postgres and Redis.

A durable workflow engine for background jobs, queues, cron and event-driven functions, backed by Postgres and Redis.

This page describes the Levelrail template for Inngest (Developer Tools). It deploys the services below as one Docker Compose app on your own server. Project site: [https://www.inngest.com/docs/self-hosting](https://www.inngest.com/docs/self-hosting).

Recommended memory: about 512 MiB.

## Services, ports and volumes

| Service | Image | Container ports | Volumes |
| - | - | - | - |
| `db` | `postgres:16-alpine` | none | `pgdata -> /var/lib/postgresql/data` |
| `inngest` | `inngest/inngest:v1.27.0` | 8288 | none |
| `redis` | `redis:7-alpine` | none | `redis -> /data` |

## Deploy Inngest with Levelrail

In the dashboard, open **Apps**, choose **New app**, then **Browse templates**, and select Inngest. Review the Compose body and deploy.

With the CLI:

```bash theme={"dark"}
levelrail-cli templates deploy inngest --name my-inngest
```
