Run in a Container

Pre-built containers with blueapi and its dependencies already installed are available on GitHub Container Registry <https://ghcr.io/DiamondLightSource/blueapi>_.

Starting the container

To pull the container from GitHub container registry and run::

docker run ghcr.io/diamondlightsource/blueapi:latest

with podman:

podman run ghcr.io/diamondlightsource/blueapi:latest

To get a released version, use a numbered release instead of latest.

Starting the message bus

The worker requires a running instance of the message bus, which in this case is RabbitMQ. The easiest way to start it is to compose the services in tests/system_tests/compose.yaml

docker compose -f tests/system_tests/compose.yaml run rabbitmq --detach
