title: "Linux VM"
description: "How to deploy Infisical with Docker-Compose"
---
<Info>
Self-host vs. Infisical Cloud
Self-hosting Infisical means managing the service yourself, taking care of upgrades, scaling, security, etc.
If you're less technical and looking for a hands-free experience with minimal overhead then we recommend Infisical Cloud.
</Info>
We provide a docker-compose deployment option for those who want to deploy Infisical onto a Linux VM easily.
1. Install Docker on your VM
```bash
# Example in ubuntu
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt install docker-compose
```
2. Download the required files
```bash
# Download env file template
wget -O .env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Infisical/infisical/main/.env.example
# Download docker compose template
wget -O docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Infisical/infisical/main/docker-compose.yml
# Download nginx config
mkdir nginx && wget -O ./nginx/default.conf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Infisical/infisical/main/nginx/default.dev.conf
```
3. Tweak the `.env` according to your preferences. Refer to the available [environment variables](../../self-hosting/configuration/envars)
```bash
# update environment variables like mongo login
nano .env
```
4. Get the service up and running.
```bash
# Start up services in detached mode
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
```
5. Your Infisical installation is complete and should be running on [http://localhost:80](http://localhost:80). Please note that the containers are not exposed to the internet and only bind to the localhost. It's up to you to configure a firewall, SSL certificates, and implement any additional security measures.
