Docker-cli

Hello, ive just got up and running the ai-self-hosted-starter-kit.
its looks fantastic.

Quick question - should i build a new image that includes docker-cli ?
i’m wanting my workflow to talk to an ai (as it does) but also to another program that is also a docker container…

some guides say just use “docker exec…”
while others say i need to use DooD and build a new image.

What say you all ?

It depends on the level of control and security you need:

Practical recommendation:

  • For development/testing or controlled environments: Using Docker and an image with Docker-CLI is flexible and practical.

  • For greater security/production: Use Docker exec from the host if you can automate it externally. Or connect containers via Docker networking and use APIs or sockets to communicate processes.
