Docker

For documentation on older releases of Watchman (v0.31.x series), please visit the older docs website in our GitHub repository.

We publish a public Docker image moov/watchman from Docker Hub or use this repository. No configuration is required to serve on :8084. We also have Docker images for OpenShift published as quay.io/moov/watchman. Lastly, we offer a moov/watchman:static Docker image with files from 2019. This image can be useful for faster local testing or consistent results.

Pull & start the Docker image:

docker pull moov/watchman:latest
docker run -p 8084:8084 moov/watchman:latest
