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.
