## Feedback Content
> I tried to install this last week and after a couple attempts I had to abandon. I'd really love to try this but that interactive installer is terrible.
> I don't remember the exact error I was getting, but I know it failed every time and I had to start the interactive installer again every single time, making it extremely tedious.
> I think it's just better to provide a docker-compose file with default values, document all options and let the user set it up as they want.
## Context (Optional)
- The user faced issues with the interactive installer.
- Suggested that we provide a docker-compose file with default values, document all options and let the user set it up as they want.
