🎯 Execution Modes

1. CLI Mode (terraform-ingest:cli)

Use for: One-off ingestion tasks, batch processing, CI/CD pipelines

docker run -v config.yaml:/app/config/config.yaml \
  -v output:/app/output \
  terraform-ingest:cli ingest /app/config/config.yaml

Features: - Full Click CLI support - Cleanup option - SSH key support - Custom configurations

2. API Mode (terraform-ingest:api)

Use for: REST service, long-running applications, Kubernetes

docker run -p 8000:8000 terraform-ingest:api

Features: - FastAPI REST endpoints - Swagger UI documentation - Health check endpoints - Multi-worker support - Configurable logging

Endpoints: - GET / - API info - GET /health - Health check - POST /ingest - Ingest repositories - POST /analyze - Analyze single repo - GET /docs - Swagger UI - GET /redoc - ReDoc documentation

3. MCP Mode (terraform-ingest:mcp)

Use for: AI agent integration, LLM access, model context protocol

docker run terraform-ingest:mcp

Features: - FastMCP server - Stdio-based protocol - Auto-ingestion support - Periodic refresh capability - List repositories tool - Search modules tool

🚀 Quick Start

Build All Images

docker-compose build

Run in Your Chosen Mode

CLI - Run Once:

docker-compose run --rm terraform-ingest-cli ingest /app/config/config.yaml

API - Start Service:

docker-compose up -d terraform-ingest-api
curl http://localhost:8000/health

MCP - Start Agent Server:

docker-compose up -d terraform-ingest-mcp

Development - Interactive:

docker-compose up -d terraform-ingest-dev
docker-compose exec terraform-ingest-dev bash

📊 Image Specifications

Image	Size	Base	Purpose
cli	~350MB	python:3.13-slim	CLI commands
api	~350MB	python:3.13-slim	REST service
mcp	~350MB	python:3.13-slim	MCP server
dev	~550MB	python:3.13-slim	Development

Sizes are estimates and depend on build cache and system

🔐 Security Features

✅ Minimal Base Image: python:3.13-slim only (~150MB)
✅ Multi-Stage Builds: No build tools in production
✅ Read-Only Mounts: Configuration files mounted as read-only
✅ SSH Key Isolation: Credentials kept secure via volume mounts
✅ Health Checks: Automated health monitoring
✅ Security Scanning: Trivy scans in GitHub Actions
✅ No Hardcoded Secrets: Environment-based configuration
✅ Minimal Permissions: No sudo or unnecessary privileges

🛠️ Build Optimization

Layer Caching Strategy: 1. Dependencies cached separately from code 2. Build tools excluded from production 3. Multi-platform support (amd64, arm64) 4. GitHub Actions cache for faster CI/CD

Size Optimization: - Slim base image (vs full Python) - Multi-stage builds eliminate build tools - .dockerignore excludes unnecessary files - Minimal runtime dependencies only

📋 Docker Compose Features

Service Profiles:

docker-compose --profile cli run --rm terraform-ingest-cli
docker-compose --profile api up
docker-compose --profile mcp up
docker-compose --profile dev up

Volume Management: - Config mount (read-only) - Output directory - Repos cache - SSH keys (optional) - Git config (optional)

Environment Configuration: - All modes configurable via env vars - No hardcoded values - Easy customization

🔄 GitHub Actions CI/CD

Triggers: - Push to main/develop branches - Git tags (semantic versioning) - Manual workflow dispatch - Pull requests (testing only)

Jobs: 1. Build: Compiles all targets, multi-platform 2. Test: Basic functionality tests 3. Security: Trivy vulnerability scanning

Output: - Images pushed to GitHub Container Registry (GHCR) - Semantic version tags - SHA-based tags - Latest tags for default branch - Security reports in GitHub Security tab

🎯 Next Steps

1. Build Locally

docker-compose build

2. Test Each Mode

# CLI
docker-compose run --rm terraform-ingest-cli --help

# API
docker-compose up -d terraform-ingest-api
curl http://localhost:8000/docs

# MCP
docker-compose up -d terraform-ingest-mcp

# Dev
docker-compose up -d terraform-ingest-dev
docker-compose exec terraform-ingest-dev pytest tests/

3. Configure

• Create config.yaml with your repositories
• Mount SSH keys if needed: ~/.ssh:/root/.ssh:ro
• Adjust environment variables as needed

4. Deploy

• Local: Use docker-compose
• Kubernetes: Use provided manifests
• Docker Swarm: Use docker-compose
• Cloud: Push to GHCR and deploy from registry
