^ related to @Daniel Daum’s post above – I think it would help out the community enormously if you guys would consider publishing images & improving the docs for Docker usage. It'd be great to have: 1. A canonical Docker Hub image that works with both Dagit and Dagster Daemon 2. A revised

docker-compose.yml

example that parameterizes all config to a

.env

file, and uses volumes to store code & data. a. Container 1 =

dagster-daemon

, uses above image b. Container 2 =

dagster-dagit

, uses above image c. Container 3 =

dagster-executor

, uses whatever image people want to run their code, such as a prebuilt python one from jupyter-stacks, and uses a bind mount to a local code directory rather than copying over a single

repo.py

each time (not very helpful), as well as another bind mount to store results d. Container 4 =

db

– include an example which uses vanilla Postgres – although I suspect many people will have a preexisting one already they can use The current docs are really confusing and ideally there'd be a simple block you could add to an existing

docker-compose.yml

without a ton of fuss.

Thanks for the valuable feedback Kevin--I agree that publishing these images as you mentioned would make it much easier to get started with docker and dagster

Yeah! Thanks for pointing this out, Kevin! We can do a lot more with our images. The first one is in the works, and we need to triage the second one. By chance, do you already have your described setup working? If so, I'd would love to help you become a contributor and raise a PR back to Dagster to update our docs and point to the images on a registry.

Yep @Tim Castillo I've got it working, how about I recreate a minimal example for you guys to check out and we can go from there

Hey Kevin!! Sorry for the delay on replying. and I appreciate the follow up! Yeah, feel free to create the minimal example in your own time, let me know what you think the last mile things are, and I'll work with you to take it across the finish line.

hey @Tim Castillo no worries – here's a skeleton we can work from https://github.com/kevinschaich/dagster-docker-example/tree/master two problems right now:
