Agent Definition with Docker

Deploy containerized AI agents using Docker with this agent definition template.

Prerequisites

Infrastructure

The VM you run Lattice on must have a running Docker socket and the lattice user must be added to the Docker group:

# Add lattice user to Docker group
sudo adduser lattice docker

# Restart Lattice server
sudo systemctl restart lattice

# Test Docker
sudo -u lattice docker ps

Architecture

This agent definition provisions the following resources:

• Docker image (built by Docker socket and kept locally)
• Docker container pod (ephemeral execution environment)
• Docker volume (persistent on /home/lattice)

This means, when the workspace restarts, any tools or files outside of the home directory are not persisted. To pre-bake tools into the agent container (e.g. python3), modify the container image.

Note This template is designed to be a starting point! Edit the Terraform to extend the template to support your agent use case.

Editing the image

Edit the Dockerfile and run lattice templates push to update agent definitions.
