Codex Docker Image

Codex provides pre-built docker images and they are stored in the codexstorage/nim-codex repository.

Run

We can run Codex Docker image using CLI

# Default run
docker run --rm codexstorage/nim-codex

# Mount local datadir
docker run -v ./datadir:/datadir --rm codexstorage/nim-codex codex --data-dir=/datadir

And Docker Compose

# Run in detached mode
docker-compose up -d

Arguments

Docker image is based on the codex.Dockerfile and there is

ENTRYPOINT ["/docker-entrypoint.sh"]
CMD ["codex"]

It means that at the image run it will just run codex application without any arguments and we can pass them as a regular arguments, by overriding command

docker run codexstorage/nim-codex codex --api-bindaddr=0.0.0.0

Environment variables

We can configure Codex using Environment variables and docker-compose.yaml file can be useful as an example.

Slim

1. Build the image using docker build -t status-im/codexsetup:latest -f codex.Dockerfile ..
2. The docker image can then be minified using slim. Install slim on your path and then run:

   slim # brings up interactive prompt
   >>> build --target status-im/codexsetup --http-probe-off true
   

3. This should output an image with name status-im/codexsetup.slim
4. We can then bring up the image using docker-compose up -d.
