Docker Deployment

You do not need to read this unless you are running agent-bom directly through Docker (compose, ad hoc docker run, or the SSE/runtime Dockerfiles). For the production rollout path, start with Deployment Overview and follow the paved path it recommends.

Use this page for containerized entrypoints. The product split (one agentbom/agent-bom runtime image plus the agentbom/agent-bom-ui browser image) is documented in Deployment Overview; this page only covers Docker-specific commands and image variants.

Pilot on one workstation:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/msaad00/agent-bom/main/deploy/docker-compose.pilot.yml -o docker-compose.pilot.yml
docker compose -f docker-compose.pilot.yml up -d
# Dashboard -> http://localhost:3000

The UI image does not replace the API image. A self-hosted browser deployment still needs the API/control-plane service from agentbom/agent-bom.

Use these in this order:

Path Status Use when
deploy/docker-compose.pilot.yml recommended fastest one-machine pilot with the shipped images
deploy/docker-compose.fullstack.yml advanced local example you want a fuller single-machine compose setup and are comfortable editing local compose files
deploy/docker-compose.platform.yml component example you are focusing on the control-plane/platform layer only
deploy/docker-compose.runtime.yml component example you are focusing on proxy/runtime behavior only

If you want the full self-hosted deployment path for your own infrastructure, use scripts/deploy/install-eks-reference.sh instead of trying to stretch a Compose file into production.

Quick scan

docker run --rm agentbom/agent-bom:latest agents --demo

With host config access

Mount your MCP client configs for auto-discovery:

docker run --rm \
  -v "$HOME/.config:/home/abom/.config:ro" \
  -v "$HOME/Library/Application Support:/home/abom/Library/Application Support:ro" \
  agentbom/agent-bom:latest agents

Self-hosted SSE server

docker build -f deploy/docker/Dockerfile.sse -t agent-bom-sse .
docker run -p 8080:8080 agent-bom-sse

Proxies and custom CA bundles

All maintained agent-bom images accept the standard proxy variables:

  • HTTP_PROXY
  • HTTPS_PROXY
  • NO_PROXY

They also support mounted enterprise CA bundles through:

  • SSL_CERT_FILE
  • REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE
  • CURL_CA_BUNDLE
  • PIP_CERT

Example:

docker run --rm \
  -e HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy.internal:8080 \
  -e NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1 \
  -e SSL_CERT_FILE=/certs/internal-ca.pem \
  -e REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=/certs/internal-ca.pem \
  -v ./internal-ca.pem:/certs/internal-ca.pem:ro \
  agentbom/agent-bom:latest --version

Runtime proxy against a remote MCP endpoint

docker pull agentbom/agent-bom:0.88.6
docker run --rm -i \
  -v ./audit-logs:/var/log/agent-bom \
  agentbom/agent-bom:0.88.6 \
  proxy \
  --log /var/log/agent-bom/audit.jsonl \
  --block-undeclared \
  --url http://host.docker.internal:3000

For stdio MCP wrapping, prefer the repo's runtime compose example or run agent-bom proxy on the host where the target MCP command and its runtime (node, uvx, python, etc.) are installed.
