Haystack is an end-to-end framework that enables you to build powerful and production-ready pipelines for different search use cases. The Docker image comes with a web service configured to serve Haystack's rest_api to ease pipelines' deployments in containerized environments.

Start the Docker container binding the TCP port 8000 locally:

docker run -p 8000:8000 deepset/haystack

If you need the container to access other services available in the host:

docker run -p 8000:8000 --network="host" deepset/haystack

Image variants

The Docker image comes in two variants:

haystack:cpu-<version>: this image is smaller but doesn't support GPU
haystack:gpu-<version>: this image comes with the Cuda runtime and is capable of running on GPUs

Image development

Images are built with BuildKit and we use bake to orchestrate the process. You can build a specific image by simply run:

docker buildx bake gpu

You can override any variable defined in the docker-bake.hcl file and build custom images, for example if you want to use a branch from the Haystack repo:

HAYSTACK_VERSION=mybranch_or_tag BASE_IMAGE_TAG_SUFFIX=latest docker buildx bake gpu --no-cache
