Docker

Deploy BroxiAI integrations using Docker containers for consistent and scalable applications

Learn how to containerize your BroxiAI applications with Docker for consistent deployment across development, staging, and production environments.

Overview

Docker provides:

Consistent environments across all stages
Easy deployment and scaling
Isolated application dependencies
Simplified CI/CD pipelines
Portable containers across platforms

Basic Docker Setup

Dockerfile for BroxiAI Applications

Python Application Dockerfile

Best Practices

Performance Optimization

Image Optimization

Use multi-stage builds to reduce image size
Leverage Docker layer caching
Use .dockerignore to exclude unnecessary files
Choose appropriate base images (alpine vs slim)
Minimize the number of layers

Runtime Optimization

Set appropriate resource limits
Use health checks for reliability
Implement graceful shutdown handling
Configure proper logging
Monitor container metrics

Security Best Practices

Container Security

Run containers as non-root users
Use official base images
Regularly update base images
Scan images for vulnerabilities
Use minimal base images
Implement proper secret management

Network Security

Use custom networks instead of default bridge
Implement proper firewall rules
Use TLS/SSL for all communications
Limit exposed ports
Regular security audits

Monitoring and Logging

Container Monitoring

Implement comprehensive health checks
Monitor resource usage
Set up alerting for failures
Use centralized logging
Track application metrics

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Container Startup Issues

# Check container logs
docker logs container_name

# Debug container
docker exec -it container_name /bin/sh

# Check resource usage
docker stats

# Inspect container configuration
docker inspect container_name

Network Issues

# List networks
docker network ls

# Inspect network
docker network inspect network_name

# Test connectivity
docker exec container_name ping other_container

Performance Issues

# Monitor real-time stats
docker stats --no-stream

# Check disk usage
docker system df

# Clean up resources
docker system prune -a

Next Steps

After Docker setup:

Container Orchestration: Move to Kubernetes for advanced orchestration
Monitoring Enhancement: Implement comprehensive observability
Security Hardening: Regular security assessments and updates
Performance Tuning: Optimize for your specific workload
Disaster Recovery: Implement backup and recovery procedures

Kubernetes: Container orchestration
Monitoring: Observability and monitoring
Security: Security best practices

Docker provides a solid foundation for containerizing BroxiAI applications. Follow these patterns for consistent, secure, and scalable deployments across all environments.
