Complete Docker Service Configuration

Objective: Ensure all Docker services are properly configured and initialized.

Description: This subtask involves verifying that the docker-compose.yml file is complete, all initialization scripts in the docker/ directory are working, and all services start successfully.

Dependencies: None

Details:

  • Review and update docker-compose.yml as needed.
  • Ensure all required services (PostgreSQL, Milvus, Neo4j, Redis, MinIO) are included and properly configured.
  • Validate all initialization scripts in the docker/ directory.
  • Start services and confirm successful initialization.

Status: Done

Test Strategy:

docker-compose up

Verify all containers are healthy using docker ps and service-specific health checks.

Explanatory Notes​

  • Service Isolation: Each core service (database, vector store, graph DB, cache, object storage) runs in its own container, ensuring faults are contained and resources are managed independently.
  • Reproducibility: Docker Compose enables consistent environments across development, CI, and production, reducing "works on my machine" issues.
  • Health Checks: Regularly verify container health using docker ps and service-specific endpoints. This is critical for early detection of failures and for automated orchestration.
  • Best Practices:
    • Keep docker-compose.yml and init scripts under version control.
    • Use environment variables for secrets and configuration.
    • Monitor logs for errors and performance issues.
  • Troubleshooting:
    • If a service fails to start, check logs with docker-compose logs <service>.
    • Ensure ports are not in use and dependencies are available.
