Deploying `big-AGI` with Docker

Utilize Docker containers to deploy the big-AGI application for an efficient and automated deployment process. Docker ensures faster development cycles, easier collaboration, and seamless environment management.

Build and run your container 🔧

Clone big-AGI

git clone https://github.com/enricoros/big-agi.git
cd big-agi

Build the Docker Image: Build a local docker image from the provided Dockerfile:
```
docker build -t big-agi .
```
Run the Docker Container: start a Docker container from the newly built image, and expose its http port 3000 to your localhost:3000 using:
```
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 big-agi
```
Browse to http://localhost:3000

Run Official Containers 📦

big-AGI is pre-built from source code and published as a Docker image on the GitHub Container Registry (ghcr). The build process is transparent, and happens via GitHub Actions, as described in the file.

Official Images: ghcr.io/enricoros/big-agi

Run using docker 🚀

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 ghcr.io/enricoros/big-agi:latest

Run using docker-compose 🚀

If you have Docker Compose installed, you can run the Docker container with docker-compose up to pull the Docker image (if it hasn't been pulled already) and start a Docker container. If you want to update the image to the latest version, you can run docker-compose pull before starting the service.

docker-compose up -d

Make Local Services Visible to Docker 🌐

To make local services running on your host machine accessible to a Docker container, such as a Browseless service or a local API, you can follow this simplified guide:

Operating System	Steps to Make Local Services Visible to Docker
Windows and macOS	Use the special DNS name `host.docker.internal` to refer to the host machine from within the Docker container. No additional network configuration is required. Access local services using `host.docker.internal:<PORT>`.
Linux	Two options: A. Use --network="host" (`docker run --network="host" -d big-agi`) when running the Docker container to merge the container within the host network stack; however, this reduces container isolation. Alternatively: B. Connect to local services using the host's IP address directly, as host.docker.internal is not available by default on Linux.

Reverse Proxy Configuration

A reverse proxy is a server that sits in front of big-AGI's container and can forwards web requests to it. Often used to run multiple web applications, expose them to the internet, increase security.

If you're deploying big-AGI behind a reverse proxy, you may want to see our Reverse Proxy Deployment Guide for more information.

More Information

The Dockerfile describes how to create a Docker image. It establishes a Node.js environment, installs dependencies, and creates a production-ready version of the application as a local container.

The docker-compose.yaml file is configured to run the official image (big-agi:latest). This file is used to define the big-agi service, to expose port 3000 on the host, and launch big-AGI within the container (startup command).

The .github/workflows/docker-image.yml file is used to build the Official Docker images and publish them to the GitHub Container Registry (ghcr). The build process is transparent and happens via GitHub Actions.

Leverage Docker's capabilities for a reliable and efficient big-AGI deployment!
