Run as container

This project can be run inside Docker containers (server + one or more clients). Below are minimal steps to build the images and run them locally.

Prerequisites

• Docker (and optionally Docker Compose / docker compose plugin)
• Linux is required for network_mode: host in the provided compose file

Build images

1. Build the base image (it contains the library used by client and server):

docker build -f docker/base.Dockerfile -t fedscope_base_image:latest .

2. Build server and client images:

docker build -f docker/server.Dockerfile -t fedscope_server:latest .
docker build -f docker/client.Dockerfile -t fedscope_client:latest .

Tip: If you intend to push images to a registry, tag them as <NAME>/fedscope_server:latest and <NAME>/fedscope_client:latest before pushing.

Docker Compose

The compose file at docker/compose.yaml references images like <NAME>/fedscope_server:latest. Either replace <NAME>/ with your registry/username or remove it to use the locally-built images. Then start containers:

docker compose -f docker/compose.yaml up
