Only the control plane runs at install. Services pull and start when you configure them.

$ curl -sSL https://orchestack.africa/install.sh | bash ▸ OrcheStack installer (latest) ✓ Docker found • Compose found • Daemon up ▸ Downloading runtime bundle... ✓ Extracted to ./orchestack/ ▸ Pulling images and starting containers... [+] Running 5/5 ✓ proxy ✓ postgres ✓ auth ✓ dashboard ✓ orchestrator ✓ OrcheStack is up. Open http://localhost to sign up.

$ # one command — no git clone, no manual docker pull. # sign up, pick your tools, OrcheStack pulls only what you enabled.

The stack

End-to-end modern data pipeline in minutes.

From ingestion through transformation and storage to visualization in minutes. These are OrcheStack's tested defaults; pick alternatives for any layer during setup.

(More connectors, warehouses and BI tools coming soon)

Orchestrator

Transformation

Data sources

350+ sources APIs, CSV, database,
Stripe, Sheets…

Architecture

Lazy-pull, resource-aware by default.

Install ships minimal. Services pull and start only when you enable them. Hot-tier services stay running for stakeholders. Cold-tier services spin up on schedule or on click, then shut down when idle.

Base install Ships with every OrcheStack container, runs from day zero

Reverse Proxy Front-facing site Dashboard (HTMX) PostgreSQL Service Orchestrator

Hot tier Pulled on configure and stays running while enabled

PostgreSQL Metabase pgAdmin

Cold tier Pulled on configure but starts on demand, stops when idle

4 steps to your next data project

No Kubernetes, no cloud accounts, no licences. Just Docker and your host machine.

Install OrcheStack

OrcheStack ships as a single Docker Compose file. Install Docker for your OS, then pull our compose file in one command each.

# 1. Install Docker Desktop (Apple Silicon build)
#    https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/mac-install/

# 2. Pull OrcheStack
$ curl -fsSL https://orchestack.africa/install.sh | bash

# 1. Install Docker Desktop (Intel build)
#    https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/mac-install/

# 2. Pull OrcheStack
$ curl -fsSL https://orchestack.africa/install.sh | bash

# 1. Install Docker Engine (ARM64, e.g. Raspberry Pi / Graviton)
$ curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh

# 2. Pull OrcheStack
$ curl -fsSL https://orchestack.africa/install.sh | bash

# 1. Install Docker Engine

Start the control plane

Only the base control plane starts. It requires about 2 GB of RAM. Other services wait until you enable them in the next step.

$ docker compose up -d
[+] Running 4/4  ✓ proxy  ✓ front  ✓ postgres  ✓ dashboard
Ready at http://localhost

Sign up & pick your stack

Open http://localhost. The first user becomes Admin. Then pick one tool per pipeline layer and OrcheStack pulls only the Docker images you chose.

# OrcheStack opens the setup wizard
# → Welcome → Pick tools → Enter creds → Deploy

# Ingestion   → Airbyte
# Transform   → dbt Core
# Warehouse   → PostgreSQL
# Quality     → Great Expectations
# BI          → Metabase

See it in action

All services are now wired together. Run the default DAG on demand or leave it on the nightly schedule and your dashboards update automatically.
