A standalone, beginner→advanced course on GrowthBook. Self-host it in seconds with the gifted Docker compose below, then learn feature flags, the SDKs, experiments, and metrics hands-on.

Start here Jump to Feature Flags

🚀 Run GrowthBook with Docker first

Save this as compose.yaml, then start the stack:

# compose.yaml
services:
  mongo:
    image: mongo:latest
    environment:
      - MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=root
      - MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=password
  growthbook:
    image: growthbook/growthbook:latest
    ports: ["3000:3000", "3100:3100"]
    depends_on: [mongo]
    environment:
      - MONGO_URL=mongodb://root:password@mongo:27017/
    volumes: ["uploads:/usr/local/src/app/packages/back-end/uploads"]
volumes:
  uploads:

Then run docker compose up -d and open http://localhost:3000.
