Crawl4AI Docker Setup

Quick Start

Build the Docker image:
```
docker build -t crawl4ai-server:prod .
```

Run the container:

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 \
  --env-file .llm.env \
  --name crawl4ai \
  crawl4ai-server:prod

Configuration Options

1. Using .llm.env File

Create a .llm.env file with your API keys:

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=your-deepseek-key

Run with:

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 \
  --env-file .llm.env \
  crawl4ai-server:prod

2. Direct Environment Variables

Pass keys directly:

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 \
  -e OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-your-key" \
  -e DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="your-deepseek-key" \
  crawl4ai-server:prod

3. Copy Host Environment Variables

Use the --copy-env flag to copy .llm.env from the host:

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 \
  --copy-env \
  crawl4ai-server:prod

4. Advanced: Docker Compose

Create a docker-compose.yml:

version: '3.8'
services:
  crawl4ai:
    image: crawl4ai-server:prod
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"
    env_file:
      - .llm.env
    restart: unless-stopped

Run with:

docker-compose up -d

Supported Environment Variables

Variable	Description
`OPENAI_API_KEY`	OpenAI API key
`DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`	DeepSeek API key
`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`	Anthropic API key
`GROQ_API_KEY`	Groq API key
`TOGETHER_API_KEY`	Together API key
`LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY`	Llama Cloud API key

Healthcheck

The container includes a healthcheck:

Troubleshooting

Missing Keys: Ensure all required keys are set in .llm.env.
Permissions: Run chmod +x docker-entrypoint.sh if permissions are denied.
Logs: Check logs with:
```
docker logs crawl4ai
```

Security Best Practices

Never commit .llm.env to version control.
Use Docker secrets in production (Swarm/K8s).
Rotate keys regularly.
