+## Run without Docker
+
+It's currently possible but quite cumbersome to run without Docker, hence not recommended. However it's possible to only use docker to run neodb server but reuse existing PostgresQL/Redis/Typesense servers with `compose.override.yml`, an example for reference:
+
+```
+services:
+  redis:
+    profiles: ['disabled']
+  typesense:
+    profiles: ['disabled']

+    depends_on: !reset []
+```
+(`extra_hosts` is only needed if PostgresQL/Redis/Typesense is on your host server)
+
+
 ## Multiple instances on one server
 
 It's possible to run multiple clusters in one host server with docker compose, as long as `NEODB_SITE_DOMAIN`, `NEODB_PORT` and `NEODB_DATA` are different.
