Caddy 2 is a powerful, enterprise-ready, open source web server with automatic HTTPS written in Go.
broker Documentation
Valkey is a high-performance data structure server that primarily serves key/value workloads.
db Documentation
The PostgreSQL object-relational database system provides reliability and data integrity.
Serve Saleor on your own domain behind Caddy, Nginx or Traefik. Fill in your domain and copy the result. It's a starting point, some apps need their own base URL or extra headers set too.
Proxying saleor.example.com to http://api:8000
Add this to your Caddyfile
saleor.example.com {
reverse_proxy http://api:8000
}Check the logs first
Nine times out of ten the logs tell you exactly what went wrong.
- In Portainer, go to Containers, click the container, then Logs. Or run
docker logs <container> - Exit codes help too:
137means killed, usually out of memory.126or127means the command inside the image is broken.
Port already in use
If deployment fails with "Bind for 0.0.0.0:5000 failed: port is already allocated", something else on your server is using that port.
- Find what's using it:
sudo ss -tlnp | grep :5000 - Stop the other service, or pick a different host port. In
5000:5000only the left number is yours to change, the right one belongs to the app.
Published on a random port
This template exposes 8000 without setting a host port,
so Docker picks a random free one on every deploy.
- Find it in the Ports column of Portainer's container list, or with
docker port <container>
Running but the page won't load
The container is up but nothing appears in your browser.
- Use your server's real IP:
http://your-server-ip:5000. The 0.0.0.0 link Portainer shows isn't a real address. - Give it a minute after first deploy, saleor can take a while to initialise.
- Make sure your firewall allows the port, e.g.
sudo ufw allow 5000
Image won't pull
Test the pull directly on the host: docker pull ghcr.io/saleor/saleor:3.23
- "manifest unknown" means the tag no longer exists.
- "toomanyrequests" is the Docker Hub rate limit. Log in with
docker loginto raise it. - "no space left on device" means a full disk. Reclaim space with
docker system prune
"exec format error"
This means the image was built for a different CPU architecture than your server.
- Check yours with
uname -m: x86_64 is amd64, aarch64 is arm64. Raspberry Pi and other ARM boards are the usual culprits.
Container keeps restarting
The unless-stopped restart policy relaunches the app after every crash, so the real error can scroll past.
- Check the logs right after a restart, the last few lines before it died are the useful ones.
- Get the exit code with
docker inspect <container> --format '{{.State.ExitCode}}' - Still stuck? Redeploy once with the restart policy set to
noso the failure stays visible.
Stack won't deploy
Compose stacks fail fast on small mistakes, and Portainer shows the reason just above the editor.
- YAML only accepts spaces for indentation, a single tab breaks the whole file.

A Compose stack
Saleor is a Compose stack, a set of containers (8 of them) defined in one file and brought up together by Portainer, then started and stopped as a single app.
The services
This stack is built from 8 containers that run side by side. Here's each one, with the image it runs and anything it waits for first:
apirunsghcr.io/saleor/saleor:3.23, starts after db, brokerworkerrunsghcr.io/saleor/saleor:3.23, starts after db, brokermigraterunsghcr.io/saleor/saleor:3.23, starts after dbdashboardrunsghcr.io/saleor/saleor-dashboard:3.23web-apirunscaddy:2-alpine, starts after apiweb-dashboardrunscaddy:2-alpine, starts after dashboardbrokerrunsvalkey/valkey:8dbrunspostgres:15
Ports
A port is the door the app answers on. A mapping like 5000:5000 means it's reachable on port 5000 of your server, where the left number is yours to change and the right one belongs to the app. It opens:
8000, published on a random host port80, published on a random host port5000:50005001:50006379, published on a random host port
Volumes
A volume is where Saleor keeps its files so they survive an update or a restart. Without one, anything it saves would sit inside the container and vanish the moment it's recreated. This template mounts:
/app/mediakept in themediavolume Docker manages/var/lib/postgresql/datakept in thedbdatavolume Docker manages
Environment variables
Environment variables are the settings you hand over when you deploy, things like a password or a timezone. Saleor takes 17 of them, all with defaults you can leave alone or tweak:
SECRET_KEY, pulled from your own environmentDATABASE_URL, defaults topostgres://saleor:saleor-local-only@db:5432/saleorDEBUG, defaults toFalseALLOWED_HOSTS, defaults tolocalhost,apiALLOWED_CLIENT_HOSTS, defaults tolocalhostCELERY_BROKER_URL, defaults toredis://broker:6379/1CACHE_URL, defaults toredis://broker:6379/0EMAIL_URL, defaults toconsolemail://PUBLIC_URL, defaults tohttp://localhost:5000DASHBOARD_URL, defaults tohttp://localhost:5001DEFAULT_CHANNEL_SLUG, defaults todefault-channelDJANGO_SUPERUSER_EMAIL, pulled from your own environmentDJANGO_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD, pulled from your own environmentAPI_URL, defaults tohttp://localhost:5000/graphql/POSTGRES_USER, defaults tosaleorPOSTGRES_PASSWORD, defaults tosaleor-local-onlyPOSTGRES_DB, defaults tosaleor
Restart policy
The restart policy here is unless-stopped, so Docker restarts Saleor after a crash or reboot, but leaves it off when you stop it on purpose. You can change this on the deploy screen. The choices are no (never restart), on-failure (only after a crash), unless-stopped (restart unless you stop it), and always (bring it back no matter what).
Networking
Portainer puts these services on one shared private network, so they can find each other by name (like api) while only the ports above are open to you.
Platform
The platform is linux, the kind of system the container is built to run on. Docker and Portainer handle this on a normal Linux server.
Portainer app templates
Zooming out, this whole page comes from a Portainer app template: a short recipe telling Portainer how to set Saleor up. Add the template list to Portainer once, then deploying Saleor is a click rather than a wall of config.
