Docker

Build Images

make docker

Compose Modes

The stack runs in four modes by selecting an env file and compose profiles as needed.

Quickstart from published GHCR images (LocalStack + :main tags):

make quickstart-up

make quickstart-down

In-memory (default storage, no AWS dependencies):

FLOECAT_ENV_FILE=./env.inmem docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d

This mode runs with DEV auth (OIDC disabled), so it does not require Keycloak. The default docker/env.inmem also enables seeding in iceberg mode.

LocalStack (DynamoDB + S3, DEV auth, no OIDC):

FLOECAT_ENV_FILE=./env.localstack docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml --profile localstack up -d

LocalStack + OIDC (DynamoDB + S3 + Keycloak):

FLOECAT_ENV_FILE=./env.localstack-oidc docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml --profile localstack-oidc up -d

Real AWS (DynamoDB + S3):

FLOECAT_ENV_FILE=./env.aws docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d

Make equivalents:

# In-memory
make compose-up
make compose-down

# LocalStack
make compose-up COMPOSE_ENV_FILE=./env.localstack COMPOSE_PROFILES=localstack
make compose-down COMPOSE_ENV_FILE=./env.localstack COMPOSE_PROFILES=localstack

# LocalStack + OIDC
make compose-up COMPOSE_ENV_FILE=./env.localstack-oidc COMPOSE_PROFILES=localstack-oidc
make compose-down COMPOSE_ENV_FILE=./env.localstack-oidc COMPOSE_PROFILES=localstack-oidc

Split reconciler mode

The same service image can now run as a control-plane node or as a remote executor node.

Run a control plane plus one executor node:

QUARKUS_PROFILE_SERVICE=reconciler-control \
FLOECAT_ENV_FILE=./env.localstack \
COMPOSE_PROFILES=localstack,reconciler-executor \
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d

Run a control plane plus three executor nodes:

QUARKUS_PROFILE_SERVICE=reconciler-control \
FLOECAT_ENV_FILE=./env.localstack \
COMPOSE_PROFILES=localstack,reconciler-executor \
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d --scale executor=3

Notes:

  • For a true split deployment, run service as the control plane by setting QUARKUS_PROFILE_SERVICE=reconciler-control. The compose file pins executor to QUARKUS_PROFILE_EXECUTOR=reconciler-executor by default. That keeps the public APIs, durable queue ownership, and automatic scheduling on the service container while disabling local execution there.
  • executor uses the same image but sets: FLOECAT_RECONCILER_SCHEDULER_ENABLED=false, FLOECAT_RECONCILER_REMOTE_EXECUTOR_ENABLED=true, FLOECAT_RECONCILER_DEFAULT_EXECUTOR_ENABLED=true, FLOECAT_RECONCILER_BACKEND=remote, and FLOECAT_RECONCILER_AUTO_ENABLED=false.
  • docker compose --scale executor=3 starts three identical executor replicas. Each replica connects to service:9100, leases work independently, and heartbeats/completes jobs through the control-plane RPCs. No executor leader election is required.
  • Both services must share the same blob/kv backend configuration.
  • If your control plane requires an authorization token for remote reconciler calls, set FLOECAT_RECONCILER_AUTHORIZATION_TOKEN in the env file or shell before docker compose up.

In Kubernetes or another orchestrator, the equivalent shape is:

  • 1 service replica with QUARKUS_PROFILE=reconciler-control
  • 3 executor replicas with QUARKUS_PROFILE=reconciler-executor
  • Shared durable blob/kv configuration for all 4 pods
  • Executor gRPC client target pointed at the control-plane service DNS name and port

Interactive CLI in a container:

make compose-shell

OIDC-enabled CLI (for docker/env.localstack-oidc) with automatic token refresh:

make cli-docker

Attach/Detach CLI Container

If the stack is already running (including cli), attach to the running CLI process:

docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml attach cli

Detach without stopping the container:

Ctrl+P, Ctrl+Q

To open a new one-off interactive CLI session instead of attaching:

make compose-shell

If you switch between LocalStack modes, stop the previous stack first to avoid leftover services:

FLOECAT_ENV_FILE=./env.localstack docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml --profile localstack down --remove-orphans

FLOECAT_ENV_FILE=./env.localstack-oidc docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml --profile localstack-oidc down --remove-orphans

Configuration and Overrides

Compose uses env files to set ports, storage backends, AWS wiring, and feature flags. Defaults live in docker/docker-compose.yml, and per-mode overrides live in docker/env.*.

Common configuration knobs:

  • Hosts/IPs: FLOECAT_HTTP_HOST (service bind), FLOECAT_REST_HOST (Iceberg REST bind), FLOECAT_GRPC_HOST (gateway → service target).
  • Ports: FLOECAT_HTTP_PORT (service), FLOECAT_REST_PORT (Iceberg REST), FLOECAT_GRPC_PORT (gateway → service target).
  • Storage backends: FLOECAT_KV, FLOECAT_BLOB, FLOECAT_KV_TABLE, FLOECAT_BLOB_S3_BUCKET.
  • AWS wiring: FLOECAT_STORAGE_AWS_REGION, FLOECAT_STORAGE_AWS_S3_ENDPOINT, FLOECAT_STORAGE_AWS_DYNAMODB_ENDPOINT, FLOECAT_STORAGE_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, FLOECAT_STORAGE_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, FLOECAT_STORAGE_AWS_S3_PATH_STYLE.
  • Gateway storage credentials: ICEBERG_STORAGE_SCOPE, ICEBERG_STORAGE_TYPE, ICEBERG_STORAGE_KEY_ID, ICEBERG_STORAGE_SECRET, ICEBERG_STORAGE_REGION, plus FLOECAT_GATEWAY_STORAGE_CREDENTIAL_PROPERTIES_S3_ENDPOINT and FLOECAT_GATEWAY_STORAGE_CREDENTIAL_PROPERTIES_S3_PATH_STYLE_ACCESS for non-default endpoints.
  • Seed/fixtures: FLOECAT_SEED_ENABLED, FLOECAT_SEED_MODE, FLOECAT_FIXTURES_USE_AWS_S3.
  • Reconciler split deployment: FLOECAT_RECONCILER_SCHEDULER_ENABLED, FLOECAT_RECONCILER_REMOTE_EXECUTOR_ENABLED, FLOECAT_RECONCILER_DEFAULT_EXECUTOR_ENABLED, FLOECAT_RECONCILER_BACKEND, FLOECAT_RECONCILER_AUTHORIZATION_HEADER, FLOECAT_RECONCILER_AUTHORIZATION_TOKEN, QUARKUS_PROFILE_SERVICE, QUARKUS_PROFILE_EXECUTOR.

Where variables are consumed (all FLOECAT_*):

  • service/src/main/resources/application.properties
  • protocol-gateway/iceberg-rest/src/main/resources/application.properties
  • client-cli/src/main/resources/application.properties

AWS Credentials (Local Dev)

The containers can use credentials in this order: env vars first, then a local AWS profile when mounted. This lets SSO or named profiles work without exporting short-lived keys.

Option A: Export credentials into env vars before docker compose up:

aws configure export-credentials --profile awsmark --format env

Option B: Mount ~/.aws and set a profile (this is already wired in docker/docker-compose.yml):

export AWS_PROFILE=awsmark

If AWS_PROFILE is unset, the SDK falls back to env vars or the instance/container role.

If your images run as a non-root user, mount ~/.aws into that user’s home in docker/docker-compose.yml.

OIDC Notes

  • docker/env.inmem explicitly uses DEV auth (FLOECAT_AUTH_MODE=dev, FLOECAT_GATEWAY_AUTH_MODE=dev) and disables OIDC.
  • docker/env.localstack also uses DEV auth and keeps OIDC disabled for quick starts.
  • docker/env.localstack-oidc enables OIDC and expects the Keycloak service.
  • Services running inside the Docker network must use the Keycloak service name: http://keycloak:8080/realms/floecat.
  • Clients running on the host (or external containers not on the docker_floecat network) must use http://host.docker.internal:8080/realms/floecat (or KEYCLOAK_PORT if overridden).
  • If you use Trino with the REST catalog, ensure the gateway audience list includes both floecat-client and trino-client (see docker/env.localstack-oidc).

OIDC Token for Shell

When the stack is running with docker/env.localstack-oidc, the CLI must send a bearer token. make compose-shell does not fetch/inject a token. Use one of:

# Recommended: fetch token and run CLI in one step
make cli-docker

# Token only (if you want to run compose manually)
make cli-docker-token
