Docker Development Environment
This section provides comprehensive documentation for Flamenco's Docker development environment, including setup tutorials, troubleshooting guides, technical references, and architectural explanations.
The Docker environment represents a significant optimization achievement - transforming unreliable 60+ minute failing builds into reliable 9.5-minute successful builds with 42x-168x performance improvements in Go module downloads.
Quick Start
For immediate setup:
# Clone and setup
git clone https://projects.blender.org/studio/flamenco.git
cd flamenco
make -f Makefile.docker dev-setup
make -f Makefile.docker dev-start
# Access Flamenco Manager at http://localhost:9000
Documentation Structure
This documentation follows the Diátaxis framework to serve different user needs:
Setup Tutorial
For learning - Step-by-step guide to set up your first Flamenco Docker development environment. Start here if you're new to Docker or Flamenco development.
Troubleshooting Guide
For solving problems - Practical solutions to common Docker and Flamenco issues. Use this when something isn't working and you need a fix.
Configuration Reference
For information - Complete technical specifications of all Docker configurations, environment variables, and build parameters. Consult this when you need exact details.
Architecture Guide
For understanding - Deep dive into the optimization principles, architectural decisions, and why the Docker environment works the way it does. Read this to understand the bigger picture.
Optimization Case Study
For inspiration - Complete success story documenting the transformation from 100% Docker build failures to 9.5-minute successful builds. A comprehensive case study showing how systematic optimization delivered 168x performance improvements.
Key Achievements
The optimized Docker environment delivers:
- 42x-168x faster Go module downloads (84.2s vs 60+ min failure)
- 100% reliable builds (vs previous 100% failure rate)
- 9.5-minute successful builds (vs infinite timeout failures)
- Complete multi-stage optimization with intelligent layer caching
- Production-ready containerization for all Flamenco components
- Comprehensive Playwright testing integration
System Requirements
- Docker 20.10+
- Docker Compose v2.0+
- 4GB RAM minimum (8GB recommended)
- 10GB free disk space
