Hi, I have a question on the DockerRunLauncher. This may have been asked before but Slack doesn't show messages older than 90 days...Specifically, I use a host for Dagit and another for the user code server. If I use DockerRunLauncher to execute jobs, are the containers created on the Dagit host or the user code host? It wasn't very clear in the documentation https://docs.dagster.io/deployment/guides/docker I assume it is the user code server but just want to confirm. Thank you.

Hi Jing - are you running the dagster daemon in a container as well?
https://docs.dagster.io/deployment/guides/docker#multi-container-docker-deployment lays out when you would have one - if you have a run queue set up on your daemon, every run will be launched using the daemon container on the same machine where that container is running. If you don't have a run queue, then runs kicked off manually from dagit will be launched from the dagit container, but other runs (schedules and sensors) will be launched from the daemon container

Thanks Daniel! Sounds like I need 3 host, one for dagit, one for the daemon with a queue and one for the user code vm. In this case, all the job containers are created on the daemon host?

I would expect them to also work on a single host too (the daemon in particular doesn’t need to run as a server)
It’ll either be on the daemon machine or the dagit machine - my comment just above lays out the different cases
