Quick start with Docker

Prebuilt images are published on Docker Hub as yafnet/yafnet, with a Docker Compose file for each database provider. From the yafsrc folder:

docker compose -f docker-compose-SqlServer.yml up -d

Compose files for MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite, configuration via environment variables, mail setup and data volumes are described in the Docker guide.
