- The frontend image ran the Vite dev server in development mode, so
.env.development supplied its defaults (notification banner, Google client
id, local API host). The static build only loads .env.production, so the
build stage now copies .env.development in as the baseline and the compose
files pass every VITE_* the app reads through from .env; the runtime script
skips empty values so a blank passthrough keeps the build-time default.
.dockerignore kept only the .local variants out.
- VITE_DISABLE_SOURCE_FE disables sources only when it is the string true.
- DoclingParser: find_spec raises when docling itself is absent; the install
hint now covers that path, with a regression test.
- verify_offline: direct tests for verify(); the PR image check builds and
verifies the -docling variant as well as slim.
- Workflows this branch adds or rewrites pin actions by commit, pass the
release tag through env instead of template expansion, and do not persist
checkout credentials.
- OCR guide no longer claims pre-built images never include docling.
Backend (arc53/docsgpt): 4.5 GB compressed -> 0.9 GB with both embedding
models and tiktoken baked in.
- torch/transformers gone from the default install (docling extra only).
- Ubuntu 24.04 ships python3.12: no deadsnakes PPA, no software-properties-
common; every pin is a wheel, so no gcc/g++/rust in the builder.
- COPY --chown and a prefetch that runs as the process user replace the
trailing chown -R, which duplicated the 600 MB model layer.
- .dockerignore keeps __pycache__, .coverage, local indexes and .env out.
- EXTRAS build arg (INSTALL_DOCLING kept as an alias); the docling variant
also bakes docling's layout/table/RapidOCR models (DOCLING_ARTIFACTS_PATH)
and tesseract, and drops only the discovery documents of Google APIs the
app never builds.
- FLASK_DEBUG env removed (unused); OCI labels added.
Frontend (arc53/docsgpt-fe): 302 MB Vite dev server -> 25 MB static build
behind nginx. VITE_* variables are injected at container start into
/config.js and read through src/env.ts, so the image no longer needs a
rebuild per deployment; docker-compose.yaml keeps hot reload via the dev
target.
Publishing: every release and develop build now pushes a slim tag and a
-docling tag (docling engine + models + tesseract). docker-compose-hub.yaml
takes DOCSGPT_IMAGE_TAG / DOCSGPT_IMAGE_VARIANT; docker-compose-standalone.yaml
runs the stack from pre-built images without a checkout and is attached to
each release. setup.sh selects the -docling variant for OCR instead of
requiring a local build. A new workflow builds the image on PRs that touch
it and runs verify_offline under --network none; lint checks the exported
requirements match uv.lock.
