Quick Start

The quickest way to install Crawlab is Docker. If you are not familiar with Docker, you can refer to Docker Official Site and install it on your local machine.

Pull Images

Make sure you have installed Docker, and then pull the image of Crawlab and MongoDB.

docker pull crawlabteam/crawlab
docker pull mongo

If you have not installed Docker Compose, you can install it by executing the command below.

pip install docker-compose

Configure docker-compose.yml

Create a config file named docker-compose.yml and enter the content below.

version: '3.3'
services:
  master:
    image: crawlabteam/crawlab
    container_name: crawlab_master
    environment:
      CRAWLAB_NODE_MASTER: "Y"
      CRAWLAB_MONGO_HOST: "mongo"
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    depends_on:
      - mongo
  mongo:
    image: mongo:4.2

Start Crawlab

Start Crawlab along with MongoDB by executing the command below.

docker-compose up -d

Now you can open the browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 to start using Crawlab.
