Steps Clone the Ed-Fi-ODS-Docker repository and copy .env.example to .env Choose a deployment mode (Sandbox, Shared Instance, Year Specific, or District Specific) before first startup, since it determines the schema layout Set database credentials and any extension configuration in the .env file Run docker compose up using the published Ed-Fi Alliance images matching the target ODS/API release version Verify the API is reachable and check the /metadata endpoint to confirm the loaded data model version Known gotchas The deployment mode is not easily changed after the stack is initialized — pick it based on the target environment's real topology up front Default images run non-extended (no custom extension) unless you build/point to an image that includes your Ed-Fi extension
