Dockerfile for running client and server

[dav-ell]

To get this running in my environment I had to create a Dockerfile and build both the client and server from source, wanted to contribute it here

FROM python:3.12-slim-bookworm

ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

# Rust toolchain setup
ENV RUSTUP_HOME=/usr/local/rustup \
    CARGO_HOME=/usr/local/cargo \
    PATH=/usr/local/cargo/bin:${PATH}

# Source directory
ENV OXEN_SRC_DIR=/opt/oxen-dev
ENV PATH="${OXEN_SRC_DIR}/Oxen/target/debug:${PATH}"

# Install system dependencies
RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
        git \
        curl \
        vim \
        nano \
        less \
        procps \
        openssh-client \

        build-essential \
        pkg-config \
        libssl-dev \
        cmake \

        python3-dev && \
    curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh -s -- -y --default-toolchain stable --profile default --no-modify-path && \
    apt-get clean && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Install Python build tools
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir uv maturin wheel setuptools

# Clone and build Oxen from source
WORKDIR ${OXEN_SRC_DIR}
RUN git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Oxen-AI/Oxen.git && \
    git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Oxen-AI/oxen-release.git

WORKDIR ${OXEN_SRC_DIR}/Oxen
# Build the Oxen server
RUN cargo build

# Set up Python virtual environment for oxen-release
ENV OXEN_RELEASE_VENV_PATH=${OXEN_SRC_DIR}/oxen-release/.venv
RUN uv venv ${OXEN_RELEASE_VENV_PATH} --python $(which python3)
ENV PATH="${OXEN_RELEASE_VENV_PATH}/bin:${PATH}" \
    VIRTUAL_ENV=${OXEN_RELEASE_VENV_PATH}

WORKDIR ${OXEN_SRC_DIR}/oxen-release/oxen
RUN uv pip install --no-cache -r requirements.txt
RUN maturin develop

# Expose port and set default command
WORKDIR ${OXEN_SRC_DIR}/Oxen
EXPOSE 3001
CMD ["oxen-server", "start"]

Can be run with a docker-compose.yml like the below and then docker compose up --build

services:
  oxen-server-app:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    image: oxen-app-server-custom
    container_name: my_oxen_server_instance
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    volumes:
      - ./my-oxen-data:/var/oxen/data
    command: "oxen-server start"
    restart: unless-stopped

And if you want to access the client you can docker exec -it my_oxen_server_instance bash and run

/var/oxen/data
oxen init
