+# ClickHouse Server Docker Image
+
+## What is ClickHouse?
+
+%%LOGO%%
+
+ClickHouse is an open-source column-oriented DBMS (columnar database management system) for online analytical processing (OLAP) that allows users to generate analytical reports using SQL queries in real-time.
+
+ClickHouse works 100-1000x faster than traditional database management systems, and processes hundreds of millions to over a billion rows and tens of gigabytes of data per server per second. With a widespread user base around the globe, the technology has received praise for its reliability, ease of use, and fault tolerance.

+For more information and documentation see https://clickhouse.com/.
+
+## Versions
+
+-	The `latest` tag points to the latest release of the latest stable branch.
+-	Branch tags like `22.2` point to the latest release of the corresponding branch.
+-	Full version tags like `22.2.3.5` point to the corresponding release.
+-	The tag `head` is built from the latest commit to the default branch.
+-	Each tag has optional `-alpine` suffix to reflect that it's built on top of `alpine`.
+
+### Compatibility
+
+-	The amd64 image requires support for [SSE3 instructions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE3). Virtually all x86 CPUs after 2005 support SSE3.
+-	The arm64 image requires support for the [ARMv8.2-A architecture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AArch64#ARMv8.2-A) and additionally the Load-Acquire RCpc register. The register is optional in version ARMv8.2-A and mandatory in [ARMv8.3-A](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AArch64#ARMv8.3-A). Supported in Graviton >=2, Azure and GCP instances. Examples for unsupported devices are Raspberry Pi 4 (ARMv8.0-A) and Jetson AGX Xavier/Orin (ARMv8.2-A).
+
+## How to use this image
+
+### start server instance
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name some-clickhouse-server --ulimit nofile=262144:262144 clickhouse/clickhouse-server
+```
+
+By default, ClickHouse will be accessible only via the Docker network. See the [networking section below](#networking).
+
+By default, starting above server instance will be run as the `default` user without password.
+
+### connect to it from a native client
+
+```bash
+docker run -it --rm --link some-clickhouse-server:clickhouse-server --entrypoint clickhouse-client clickhouse/clickhouse-server --host clickhouse-server
+# OR
+docker exec -it some-clickhouse-server clickhouse-client
+```
+
+More information about the [ClickHouse client](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/interfaces/cli/).
+
+### connect to it using curl
+
+```bash
+echo "SELECT 'Hello, ClickHouse!'" | docker run -i --rm --link some-clickhouse-server:clickhouse-server curlimages/curl 'http://clickhouse-server:8123/?query=' -s --data-binary @-
+```
+
+More information about the [ClickHouse HTTP Interface](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/interfaces/http/).
+
+### stopping / removing the container
+
+```bash
+docker stop some-clickhouse-server
+docker rm some-clickhouse-server
+```
+
+### networking
+
+You can expose your ClickHouse running in docker by [mapping a particular port](https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/container-networking/) from inside the container using host ports:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d -p 18123:8123 -p19000:9000 --name some-clickhouse-server --ulimit nofile=262144:262144 clickhouse/clickhouse-server
+echo 'SELECT version()' | curl 'http://localhost:18123/' --data-binary @-
+```
+
+`22.6.3.35`
+
+or by allowing the container to use [host ports directly](https://docs.docker.com/network/host/) using `--network=host` (also allows achieving better network performance):
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --network=host --name some-clickhouse-server --ulimit nofile=262144:262144 clickhouse/clickhouse-server
+echo 'SELECT version()' | curl 'http://localhost:8123/' --data-binary @-
+```
+
+`22.6.3.35`
+
+### Volumes
+
+Typically you may want to mount the following folders inside your container to achieve persistency:
+
+-	`/var/lib/clickhouse/` - main folder where ClickHouse stores the data
+-	`/var/log/clickhouse-server/` - logs
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+    -v $(realpath ./ch_data):/var/lib/clickhouse/ \
+    -v $(realpath ./ch_logs):/var/log/clickhouse-server/ \
+    --name some-clickhouse-server --ulimit nofile=262144:262144 clickhouse/clickhouse-server
+```
+
+You may also want to mount:
+
+-	`/etc/clickhouse-server/config.d/*.xml` - files with server configuration adjustments
+-	`/etc/clickhouse-server/users.d/*.xml` - files with user settings adjustments
+-	`/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/` - folder with database initialization scripts (see below).
+
+### Linux capabilities
+
+ClickHouse has some advanced functionality, which requires enabling several [Linux capabilities](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/capabilities.7.html).
+
+They are optional and can be enabled using the following [docker command-line arguments](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#runtime-privilege-and-linux-capabilities):
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+    --cap-add=SYS_NICE --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --cap-add=IPC_LOCK \
+    --name some-clickhouse-server --ulimit nofile=262144:262144 clickhouse/clickhouse-server
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+The container exposes port 8123 for the [HTTP interface](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/interfaces/http_interface/) and port 9000 for the [native client](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/interfaces/tcp/).
+
+ClickHouse configuration is represented with a file "config.xml" ([documentation](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/operations/configuration_files/))
+
+### Start server instance with custom configuration
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name some-clickhouse-server --ulimit nofile=262144:262144 -v /path/to/your/config.xml:/etc/clickhouse-server/config.xml clickhouse/clickhouse-server
+```
+
+### Start server as custom user
+
+```bash
+# $(pwd)/data/clickhouse should exist and be owned by current user
+docker run --rm --user ${UID}:${GID} --name some-clickhouse-server --ulimit nofile=262144:262144 -v "$(pwd)/logs/clickhouse:/var/log/clickhouse-server" -v "$(pwd)/data/clickhouse:/var/lib/clickhouse" clickhouse/clickhouse-server
+```
+
+When you use the image with local directories mounted, you probably want to specify the user to maintain the proper file ownership. Use the `--user` argument and mount `/var/lib/clickhouse` and `/var/log/clickhouse-server` inside the container. Otherwise, the image will complain and not start.
+
+### Start server from root (useful in case of enabled user namespace)
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -e CLICKHOUSE_UID=0 -e CLICKHOUSE_GID=0 --name clickhouse-server-userns -v "$(pwd)/logs/clickhouse:/var/log/clickhouse-server" -v "$(pwd)/data/clickhouse:/var/lib/clickhouse" clickhouse/clickhouse-server
+```
+
+### How to create default database and user on starting
+
+Sometimes you may want to create a user (user named `default` is used by default) and database on a container start. You can do it using environment variables `CLICKHOUSE_DB`, `CLICKHOUSE_USER`, `CLICKHOUSE_DEFAULT_ACCESS_MANAGEMENT` and `CLICKHOUSE_PASSWORD`:
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -e CLICKHOUSE_DB=my_database -e CLICKHOUSE_USER=username -e CLICKHOUSE_DEFAULT_ACCESS_MANAGEMENT=1 -e CLICKHOUSE_PASSWORD=password -p 9000:9000/tcp clickhouse/clickhouse-server
+```
+
+## How to extend this image
+
+To perform additional initialization in an image derived from this one, add one or more `*.sql`, `*.sql.gz`, or `*.sh` scripts under `/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d`. After the entrypoint calls `initdb`, it will run any `*.sql` files, run any executable `*.sh` scripts, and source any non-executable `*.sh` scripts found in that directory to do further initialization before starting the service.  
+Also, you can provide environment variables `CLICKHOUSE_USER` & `CLICKHOUSE_PASSWORD` that will be used for clickhouse-client during initialization.
+
+For example, to add an additional user and database, add the following to `/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init-db.sh`:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+set -e
+
+clickhouse client -n <<-EOSQL
+    CREATE DATABASE docker;
+    CREATE TABLE docker.docker (x Int32) ENGINE = Log;
+EOSQL
+```
