Docker
Docker is an open-source containerization platform built on Linux container technology that allows developers to package applications and their dependencies into standardized image units and run them in isolated container environments. Its core features include cross-platform environment consistency through image mechanisms, lightweight resource isolation compared to traditional virtual machines, and support for rapid deployment and horizontal scaling. It is widely used in software development, continuous integration, and microservices architectures.
Core Facts
Proxmox VE is an open-source server virtualization management platform based on Debian Linux, integrating KVM virtual machines and LXC container technology.
gVisor is a user-space kernel open-sourced by Google that provides stronger security isolation than standard Docker containers by inserting a sandbox layer between containers and the host kernel.
Go compiles to a single binary file with no complex runtime dependencies, making it easy to deploy quickly across various environments.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The EduRAG project course was originally planned for 10 days and was compressed to 8 days: days 1-2 background and tools, day 3 Milvus and LangChain, days 4-5 the FAQ module, days 6-8 the RAG core, and finally project integration and Docker deployment, followed by the EDU Agent project.
Containerization (such as Docker and Podman) packages model weights, dependency libraries, runtime, and configuration into an image to ensure consistent reproduction on heterogeneous hardware.
In Docker's default bridge network, localhost inside the container points to the container itself rather than the host machine; if Ollama runs on the host machine, the FastAPI container accessing it usually needs host.docker.internal (Docker Desktop), or on Linux via --network=host, a custom bridge network with the host gateway IP specified.
n8n's self-hosting is usually done via Docker containers, with workflow definitions, execution logs, and credential information all stored inside the enterprise and not shared with third parties.
Diagrid durable execution automatically wraps existing n8n nodes, saving state at each step of execution, with no need to rewrite JSON logic—just enable the integration in a Docker environment.
Setting up durable execution in a Docker deployment stack takes only three steps: pull the latest n8n container image that supports the Diagrid integration, define the state storage connection string in environment variables, and wrap the core HTTP request nodes with the durable execution wrapper.
In Codex Cloud, each chat thread corresponds to an independent Docker container.
Cloud Agent platforms start a brand-new sandbox environment for each session; most platforms use Docker containers, while some platforms allocate a full VM.
N8N local Docker installation runs N8N on your own server or computer, with full data control, suitable for enterprises that are privacy-sensitive or need long-term operation, but you need to handle upgrades, backups, and network exposure yourself.
There are usually two paths for self-hosting n8n: one is running the official image via Docker, and the other is installing it globally via npm and then executing the startup command.
