Step 1: Install dependencies

Step 2: Install Docker-compose

Docker-compose is an open-source tool that is used to run multiple containerized applications together. To install it, use the following commands:

    db:
      uri: postgres://postgres:######@db-tinode:5432/tinode
    node:
      addr: https://your-domain-name.com
