You can Run OpenELIS directly with docker-compose without first downloading the [installer](https://www.dropbox.com/sh/47lagjht4ynpcg8/AABORyLmkpVTtRReeD6wSnJra?dl=0). - Install docker and docker-compose - Clone the project at [GitHub - I-TECH-UW/openelis-docker: Docker Compose setup for OpenELIS-Global2](https://github.com/I-TECH-UW/openelis-docker) . `git clone https://github.com/I-TECH-UW/openelis-docker.git `. - See instructions in the project [readMe](https://github.com/I-TECH-UW/openelis-docker/blob/main/README.md) to spin up either the OpenELIS2x or OpenELIS 3x Instance ---

Hi @Moses_Mutesasira , I have tried following the steps and successfully cloned the project. However, on running the `docker-compose up -d` or the `docker-compose -f docker-compose-2x.yml up -d ` commands I ran into the same error Error response from daemon: Head “[https://ghcr.io/v2/i-tech-uw/certgen/manifests/main](https://ghcr.io/v2/i-tech-uw/certgen/manifests/main)”: denied: denied How can I go about this? ---

@thembo42 , did you succeed running OpenELIS with Docker-compose ?? did you run into any such issue ?? ---

sure, I did set up successfully, the only change was to upgrade my java version. I did not see such an issue. ---

@basrem , i dont think ive ever ran into that issue . I’ve ran the docker-setup on multiple servers and it works fine . A quick Google search landed me on this [StackOverflow thread](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74656167/unable-to-pull-image-from-github-container-registry-ghcr) ---

@basrem , I updated our CI to push images to [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/itechuw/) instead of the [GitHub Container Registry.](https://github.com/orgs/I-TECH-UW/packages?repo_name=OpenELIS-Global-2) I updated the docker-compose setup to pull images from Docker hub . If you pull the latest changes I made, it should solve your problem ---

Thanks, @Moses_Mutesasira been able to start the 3.X version of OE I am curious, how come the previous solution didn’t work, if you don’t mind, it is helpful for me in my learning curve. Thanks again! ---

hello @basrem I can’t really give a concrete reason but in general, there are sometimes authentication issues with the GitHub container registry . So I just switched to Docker hub . ---

Hey @Moses_Mutesasira. I tried following the above steps using Gitpod, but the ports all show different errors, is there a specific guide for such an avenue of setup ---

can you be specific about which port you’re trying to access and the error ?? And also , to avoid proxy related issues , access the app through the ports routed to your localhost
