Add Docker Compose support with nginx reverse proxy.
Set up docker-compose.yaml to create all necessary resources to run all Streamlit apps at the same time and reverse proxy them all using nginx.
Add basic HTML file for nginx to serve that provides links to all the different apps.
This is a very simple reverse proxy integration, so there's no "back" buttons once you navigate to a particular Streamlit app.
See #58 for context.
Strange. When I try to connect to localhost:8000 I get no response. After running docker compose it also seems like no port is opening up as this command gives nothing.
sudo lsof -i:8000
I think there's something happening in the nginx container.

It seems like the ngnix container is in an infinite loop of restarting. This is a few minutes later.

The nginx container will continue restarting until all the other containers are available. In this case the rasalit-live-nlu container didn't start properly, hence nginx errors out, restarts and tries again. (Hence nginx: [emerg] host not found in upstream "rasalit-live-nlu:8501" in /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:6).
If you run docker-compose logs live-nlu you should be able to see what's going wrong with that particular container.
Ah right, I think I found the issue. The current set up assumes that I ran a grid-search beforehand. If there's no existing gridsearch folder passed along, we get this:
> docker-compose logs rasalit-live-nlu

It looks to me like it's searching for the built Rasa models from the models/ folder of the Rasa project directory. Does the Rasa project you specify with RASA_PROJECT_DIR have pre-built models in it in the models/ folder?
The gridresults will also be an issue, but that should only be an issue for the overview app.
Does the Rasa project you specify with RASA_PROJECT_DIR have pre-built models in it in the models/ folder?
That is the base assumption yes. When you train a Rasa model locally it saves a .tar.gz file in the models folder. You could save it elsewhere, but rasalit assumes it is in the models folder.
Part of me is thinking "maybe it's good to take a brief moment to take a step back". I never designed these streamlit apps to be bundled together in a single service. I imagined they'd be running as one-off inspection moments locally. I really like the direction that this PR is considering, but it does occur to me that it'd be good to ponder about/double-check the edge cases.
One idea that I'm contemplating (feel free to shoot at the idea): would it make sense to have people configure their own docker-compose.yml/Dockerfile files? We could supply a large base configuration that has most of the tools, but which users are supposed to adapt to their situation. It feels like passing that responsibility to the end-user would immediately remove the worry for things like duckling and the availability of a gridsearch folder. It might also remove the need for environment variables that the user would need to pass in.
I'm mainly mentioning this because of maintainability. I maintain about 10+ small open-source projects and I've always found that by passing responsibility to the end-user, you typically empower them which results in less issues.
Yeah that makes sense, I can't think of why they would need to change the Dockerfile but the docker-compose.yaml would be presented as "here's an example, configure it according to your needs".
Yeah, you're right. Any environment variables should be passed through docker-compose.yml.
Given this situation there now seem to be three options with regards to implementation.
- We could keep everything as is, but this would require the users to do a
git clone, which feels suboptimal as it downloads the entire project locally. - We could have a separate repository that hosts the Docker related files. This also feels suboptimal because this makes maintenance more tricky.
- We could add a
generate-composecommand to the CLI that generates the "starting point" files for the user. It could also generate a readme that explains how to customise it. We can choose to package the files with the project or to host them statically on Github. This feels solid in the test-able/maintain-able department and I think it's also the simplest for the end user.
I'm still very much in the "thinking out loud-mode" so feel free to challenge me on this idea. Do you have any concerns for option 3?
Option 3 would involve adding a command to the CLI written with typer. Should you be unfamiliar, you may appreciate a tutorial that I wrote on calmcode.
Sorry for the delay, I've not been able to implement this yet but option 3 sounds like the right choice to me, and shouldn't be too difficult to do. I'll try to find some time at some point to refactor this and add the Typer command to generate the starter compose YAML.
I took a stab at adding a command to generate the docker-compose.yaml - it seems to work but the problem is that there's no publicly available pre-built Docker images for the separate apps.
The solution would be to add a GitHub Actions workflow to generate the Docker images and publish them to GitHub Container Registry. I don't think this would be too difficult but not sure whether you think that would be better put in another PR.
I'm awaiting the release of Rasa 3.0 before adding features to this repo. The main reason is that I want to be 100% sure that the apps themselves are at least compatible with the most recent Rasa version.
Fair enough, I'll put up a PR for a simple GH action to publish the images but understand this PR or the other one won't be merged until a later date - just thought I may as well do it while it's fresh in my mind.
