+2. **Recommended**: In **docker/service_conf.yaml**, select the desired LLM factory in `user_default_llm` and update the `API_KEY` field with your own.
-> - In [service_conf.yaml](./docker/service_conf.yaml), configuration of *LLM* in **user_default_llm** is strongly recommended.
-> In **user_default_llm** of [service_conf.yaml](./docker/service_conf.yaml), you need to specify LLM factory and your own _API_KEY_.

-```bash
-$ git clone https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow.git
-$ cd ragflow/
-$ docker build -t infiniflow/ragflow:v1.0 .
-$ cd ragflow/docker
-$ docker compose up -d
