Description

🚀 Get the full step-by-step project guide here: https://learn.nextwork.org/projects/ai-devops-docker?track=high Welcome to Project 2 of the DevOps × AI Series! Today we’re containerizing a RAG API with Docker. You’ll package the FastAPI + Chroma + Ollama stack into a portable image and push it to Docker Hub-so it runs the same way on your laptop, a teammate’s machine, or any server. What you’ll learn today: ✔️ Install and verify Docker Desktop locally (no cloud costs) ✔️ Containerize a FastAPI RAG service into a reusable image ✔️ Build and tag images with best-practice naming conventions ✔️ Push to Docker Hub so anyone can pull and run your API 🗓️ The DevOps × AI Series DAY 1: Build a RAG API with FastAPI - https://learn.nextwork.org/projects/ai-devops-api DAY 2: Containerize your RAG API with Docker - https://learn.nextwork.org/projects/ai-devops-docker DAY 3: Deploy to Kubernetes DAY 4: Automate with GitHub Actions DAY 5: Monitor with Prometheus and Grafana
