Maven — Docker deployment

One image, one container per daemon (docker-compose.yml). Core (mavend) holds the encryption key and the db; the modules mount only the shared socket dir and read-only models.

First run

# 1. generate the at-rest db key (32 bytes, base64) — keep it safe, losing it loses the db
cp deploy/db_key.env.example deploy/db_key.env
printf 'MAVEN_DB_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand 32 | base64 -w0)" > deploy/db_key.env

# 2. build + start
docker compose build
docker compose up -d

# 3. logs
docker compose logs -f mavend

models/ and deps/ are bind-mounted / baked from the host — they are NOT in git (fetched via make deps + downloaded models). The build context needs deps/lib, deps/piper, deps/include, and deps/whisper.cpp/ggml/include present (see .dockerignore).

Layout

Path (in container) What
/opt/maven/bin the six daemons
/opt/maven/lib native .so (whisper+vulkan, onnxruntime)
/opt/maven/piper piper binary + espeak data
/opt/maven/models (ro) bind-mount of ./models
/run/maven (volume) shared IPC sockets
/var/lib/maven (volume) encrypted db at rest
/dev/shm (tmpfs) decrypted db working copy (RAM only)

Not yet verified / host-dependent

This stack is correct-by-construction but has not been build-tested here (no docker in the authoring env; ~1GB context; GPU). Expect a tweak on first build on the target host, most likely in one of these:

  • GPU passthroughmavsttd maps /dev/dri for Vulkan. On an NVIDIA host you'd swap to the nvidia container runtime instead of /dev/dri.
  • onnxruntime lib pathmavend's embedder needs libonnxruntime.so (on LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/maven/lib). If the embedder wants an explicit path, set it in the config's embedder block.
  • cross-container voicemavweb -voice mavend:9100 only works once mavend binds its voice server on 0.0.0.0:9100 (Voice config, currently unset). Until then, voice-over-web is inert; /tools, passkey, and the dash work fine over the core socket.
  • netdatamavpoll reaches it via host.docker.internal; adjust if netdata runs elsewhere.
