Docker

🐳 Dockerfile

The Dockerfile is based on a Playwright Python image and additionally installs:

• Poetry dependencies
• Chromium (Playwright)
• Xfce + VNC stack for UI debugging

The web container starts via entrypoint.sh:

• waits for Postgres
• runs migrations
• runs collectstatic
• starts Gunicorn

🐳 docker-compose.yml

Compose starts the full local stack:

• web
• celery_worker (with VNC)
• celery_scheduler (Celery Beat)
• command_request_starter
• db (Postgres)
• redis

🖥️ VNC for celery_worker

VNC is helpful for debugging UI automation:

• you can see the real browser window
• it is easier to understand which step failed

Ports:

• in the container, VNC runs on 5900 (display :0)
• Docker Compose maps it to host 5901 (5901:5900)

The VNC password is currently hardcoded in scripts/Dockerfile — change it before using outside local dev.
