After all your files are saved (should be in the same folder), type

docker compose build mautic_worker && docker compose up -d

And boom! You now just have to go through the mautic setup wizard and set that up.

One note: Once you set up mautic, go into the Settings > configuration > queue, then change the options from “sync” to “doctrine” / default as seen here. Do this for all 3 sections that ask for scheme, host etc.

And there you go! You have a functional Mautic installation now with all the major features!

Happy emailing!
