# Deploying Ocean subgraph

### About Ocean subgraph



### Prerequisites

* A server for hosting Ocean subgraph. See [this guide](setup-server.md) on creating a server.
* Docker and Docker compose are installed. Click [here](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) to view guide on installing docker.
* Ethereum API. Aquarius uses Ethereum api for monitoring on-chain events.\
  Choose any api provider of your choice. Some of the commonly used are:
  * [Infura](https://infura.io/)
  * [Alchemy](https://www.alchemy.com/)
  * [Moralis](https://moralis.io/)

### Create a working directory

```
mkdir ocean-subgraph
cd ocean-subgraph
```

### Create a \`.env\` file

Copy the below content into the \`.env\` file and edit the values as needed.

{% code title=".env" %}
```
ETHEREUM_NODE_PROVIDER_API='rinkeby:https://rinkeby.infura.io/v3/${INFURA_PROJECT_ID}'
```
{% endcode %}

### Create docker-compose file

{% code title="docker-compose.yml" %}
```yaml
version: '3'
services:
  graph-node:
    image: graphprotocol/graph-node:v0.26.0
    ports:
      - '9000:8000'
      - '8001:8001'
      - '8020:8020'
      - '8030:8030'
      - '8040:8040'
    depends_on:
      - ipfs
      - postgres
    environment:
      postgres_host: postgres
      postgres_user: graph-node
      postgres_pass: let-me-in
      postgres_db: graph-node
      ipfs: 'ipfs:5001'
      ethereum: ${ETHEREUM_NODE_PROVIDER_API}
      RUST_LOG: info
  ipfs:
    image: ipfs/go-ipfs:v0.4.23
    ports:
      - '5001:5001'
    volumes:
      - ./data/ipfs:/data/ipfs
  postgres:
    image: postgres
    ports:
      - '5432:5432'
    command: ['postgres', '-cshared_preload_libraries=pg_stat_statements']
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: graph-node
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: let-me-in
      POSTGRES_DB: graph-node
    volumes:
      - ./data/postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data
```
{% endcode %}

### Start Ocean subgraph
