Docker Installation

Use default MetaGPT image

# Step 1: Download metagpt official image and prepare config2.yaml
docker pull metagpt/metagpt:latest
mkdir -p /opt/metagpt/{config,workspace}
docker run --rm metagpt/metagpt:latest cat /app/metagpt/config/config2.yaml > /opt/metagpt/config/config2.yaml
vim /opt/metagpt/config/config2.yaml # Change the config

# Step 2: Run metagpt demo with container
docker run --rm \
    --privileged \
    -v /opt/metagpt/config/config2.yaml:/app/metagpt/config/config2.yaml \
    -v /opt/metagpt/workspace:/app/metagpt/workspace \
    metagpt/metagpt:latest \
    metagpt "Write a cli snake game"

# You can also start a container and execute commands in it
docker run --name metagpt -d \
    --privileged \
    -v /opt/metagpt/config/config2.yaml:/app/metagpt/config/config2.yaml \
    -v /opt/metagpt/workspace:/app/metagpt/workspace \
    metagpt/metagpt:latest

docker exec -it metagpt /bin/bash
$ metagpt "Write a cli snake game"

The command docker run ... do the following things:

• Run in privileged mode to have permission to run the browser
• Map host configure file /opt/metagpt/config/config2.yaml to container /app/metagpt/config/config2.yaml
• Map host directory /opt/metagpt/workspace to container /app/metagpt/workspace
• Execute the demo command metagpt "Write a cli snake game"
