Xata Agent is deployed using Docker containerization with the following installation steps:
- environmental preparation: Docker and Docker Compose need to be installed in advance, and can be accessed via the
docker --versionCommand Verification - Get Code: Implementation
git clone https://github.com/xataio/agent.gitClone the repository and go to the project directory - Configuration Keys: Configured in the .env.production file:
- PUBLIC_URL (service access address e.g. http://localhost:8080)
- OPENAI_API_KEY (or other compatible AI model key)
- Optional Slack notification related webhook configuration
- Starting services: Run
docker-compose up -dcommand to automatically start the server and the temporary PG database
caveat: For first time use, it is recommended to validate it in a test environment first, the formal environment needs to prepare a separate PostgreSQL instance to store the configuration data. By default, port 8080 will be activated, you need to make sure that the firewall is released.
