# Deployment-Aware Docker IP Resolution

**Intelligent Docker IP resolution that adapts based on whether SOLLOL is running bare metal or inside Docker.**

---

## Overview

SOLLOL automatically detects its deployment environment and uses the optimal resolution strategy:

| Deployment Mode | Detection | Resolution Strategy |
|----------------|-----------|---------------------|
| **Bare Metal** | No /.dockerenv, no Docker cgroup | localhost → host IP → gateway |
| **Docker** | /.dockerenv exists or Docker cgroup | Direct IP → gateway → localhost |

---

## Automatic Detection

### Deployment Detection

SOLLOL automatically detects if it's running in Docker using multiple methods:

```python
from sollol import is_running_in_docker, get_deployment_context

# Simple check
if is_running_in_docker():
    print("Running in Docker")
else:
    print("Running on bare metal")

# Comprehensive context
context = get_deployment_context()
print(context)
# Output (bare metal):
# {
#     "mode": "bare_metal",
#     "is_docker": False,
#     "network_mode": "unknown",
#     "container_id": None
# }

# Output (Docker):
# {
#     "mode": "docker",
#     "is_docker": True,
#     "network_mode": "bridge",
#     "container_id": "abc123456789"
# }
```

### Detection Methods

SOLLOL uses multiple detection methods for reliability:

1. **/.dockerenv file** (most reliable)
   - Docker creates this file in all containers
   - Fast filesystem check

2. **/proc/1/cgroup** (process control groups)
   - Checks for "docker" or "containerd" in cgroup path
   - Works with Docker and Kubernetes

3. **Environment variable** (DOCKER_CONTAINER=true)
   - Optional explicit flag
   - Useful for custom deployments

4. **Result is cached** to avoid repeated filesystem checks

## Resolution Strategies

### Strategy 1: Bare Metal → Docker

**Scenario**: SOLLOL running on host machine, connecting to Dockerized Ollama/RPC servers

**Resolution order**:
1. ✅ **localhost** (127.0.0.1) - Published ports
2. ✅ **Host IP** - Network mode containers
3. ✅ **host.docker.internal** - Docker Desktop
4. ✅ **Subnet gateway** (x.x.x.1) - Bridge network

**Example**:
```python
# Running on bare metal
# Docker container reports: 172.17.0.5:11434
# Resolution: 172.17.0.5 → 127.0.0.1 ✅

from sollol import resolve_docker_ip

accessible_ip = resolve_docker_ip("172.17.0.5", 11434)
# Returns: "127.0.0.1" (published port)
```

---

### Strategy 2: Docker → Docker

**Scenario**: SOLLOL running in Docker, connecting to other Dockerized services

**Resolution order**:
1. ✅ **Direct Docker IP** (172.17.0.5) - Same network
2. ✅ **host.docker.internal** - Cross-network
3. ✅ **localhost** (if host network mode)
4. ✅ **Subnet gateway**

**Example**:
```python
# Running in Docker (same network)
# Other container reports: 172.17.0.5:11434
# Resolution: 172.17.0.5 → 172.17.0.5 ✅ (direct access)

from sollol import resolve_docker_ip

accessible_ip = resolve_docker_ip("172.17.0.5", 11434)
# Returns: "172.17.0.5" (direct Docker network access)
```

---

## Usage Examples

### Automatic (Recommended)

SOLLOL automatically detects deployment mode:

```python
from sollol import OllamaPool

# Deployment context automatically detected
# Resolution strategy automatically selected
pool = OllamaPool.auto_configure()

# Works correctly whether running:
# - On bare metal → resolves to localhost
# - In Docker → uses direct Docker IP
```

### Manual Context (Advanced)

Override deployment detection for testing:

```python
from sollol import resolve_docker_ip

# Force bare metal strategy
context = {
    "mode": "bare_metal",
    "is_docker": False,
    "network_mode": "unknown",
    "container_id": None
}

ip = resolve_docker_ip(
    "172.17.0.5",
    11434,
    deployment_context=context
)
# Uses bare metal strategy: tries localhost first

# Force Docker strategy
context = {
    "mode": "docker",
    "is_docker": True,
    "network_mode": "bridge",
    "container_id": "abc123"
}

ip = resolve_docker_ip(
    "172.17.0.5",
    11434,
    deployment_context=context
)
# Uses Docker strategy: tries direct IP first
```

### Network Mode Detection

SOLLOL detects Docker network modes:

```python
from sollol import get_docker_network_mode, get_deployment_context

# Check network mode
mode = get_docker_network_mode()
print(mode)
# Outputs: "host", "bridge", "overlay", "none", or "unknown"

# Full context includes network mode
context = get_deployment_context()
print(f"Network mode: {context['network_mode']}")

# Host mode example
if context["network_mode"] == "host":
    # Container uses host's network stack
    # Can connect to host services via localhost
    pass
```

---

## Deployment Scenarios

### Scenario 1: All Services on Bare Metal

**Setup**:
- SOLLOL: Bare metal
- Ollama: Bare metal
- RPC servers: Bare metal

**Result**: No Docker IPs, no resolution needed ✅

```python
# All services use regular IPs
nodes = [
    {"host": "192.168.1.100", "port": "11434"},
    {"host": "192.168.1.101", "port": "11434"},
]
# No Docker IP resolution triggered
```

---

### Scenario 2: Bare Metal SOLLOL → Dockerized Services

**Setup**:
- SOLLOL: Bare metal
- Ollama: Docker containers (published ports)
- RPC servers: Docker containers (published ports)

**Docker Compose**:
```yaml
services:
  ollama:
    image: ollama/ollama
    ports:
      - "11434:11434"  # Published port
```

**Result**: Docker IPs resolved to localhost ✅

```python
# Discovery finds Docker IPs
# Auto-resolved to localhost (published ports)
discovered = [
    {"host": "172.17.0.5", "port": "11434"}  # Docker internal IP
]

# After resolution:
resolved = [
    {"host": "127.0.0.1", "port": "11434"}  # Accessible localhost
]
```

---

### Scenario 3: Dockerized SOLLOL → Dockerized Services (Same Network)

**Setup**:
- SOLLOL: Docker container
- Ollama: Docker container (same network)
- RPC servers: Docker container (same network)

**Docker Compose**:
```yaml
services:
  sollol:
    image: sollol:latest
    networks:
      - ollama-network

  ollama-1:
    image: ollama/ollama
    networks:
      - ollama-network

  ollama-2:
    image: ollama/ollama
    networks:
      - ollama-network

networks:
  ollama-network:
    driver: bridge
```

**Result**: Docker IPs accessible directly ✅

```python
# Discovery finds Docker IPs
discovered = [
    {"host": "172.18.0.5", "port": "11434"},  # ollama-1
    {"host": "172.18.0.6", "port": "11434"},  # ollama-2
]

# Resolution: Docker IPs remain (same network)
resolved = [
    {"host": "172.18.0.5", "port": "11434"},  # Direct access ✅
    {"host": "172.18.0.6", "port": "11434"},  # Direct access ✅
]
```

---

### Scenario 4: Dockerized SOLLOL → Dockerized Services (Host Network)

**Setup**:
- SOLLOL: Docker container (host network)
- Ollama: Docker container (host network)

**Docker Compose**:
```yaml
services:
  sollol:
    image: sollol:latest
    network_mode: host

  ollama:
    image: ollama/ollama
    network_mode: host
```

**Result**: Services use host's network stack ✅

```python
# No Docker IPs - services bind to host's actual IP
discovered = [
    {"host": "192.168.1.50", "port": "11434"}
]

# No resolution needed (not a Docker IP)
```

---

### Scenario 5: Mixed Deployment

**Setup**:
- SOLLOL: Bare metal
- Ollama-1: Bare metal (192.168.1.100)
- Ollama-2: Docker container (172.17.0.5)
- RPC-1: Bare metal (192.168.1.101)
- RPC-2: Docker container (172.17.0.6)

**Result**: Hybrid resolution ✅

```python
discovered = [
    {"host": "192.168.1.100", "port": "11434"},  # Bare metal
    {"host": "172.17.0.5", "port": "11434"},     # Docker
    {"host": "192.168.1.101", "port": "50052"},  # Bare metal RPC
    {"host": "172.17.0.6", "port": "50052"},     # Docker RPC
]

resolved = [
    {"host": "192.168.1.100", "port": "11434"},  # Unchanged
    {"host": "127.0.0.1", "port": "11434"},      # Resolved ✅
    {"host": "192.168.1.101", "port": "50052"},  # Unchanged
    {"host": "127.0.0.1", "port": "50052"},      # Resolved ✅
]
```

## Performance

### Detection Overhead

| Operation | Time | Cached |
|-----------|------|--------|
| First detection | 1-5ms | No |
| Subsequent calls | <0.01ms | Yes |
| Deployment check | <0.1ms | Yes |
| Network mode check | 1-3ms | Yes |

### Resolution Overhead

| Deployment | Resolution Time | Notes |
|-----------|----------------|-------|
| Bare Metal → Docker | 1-10ms | Tries localhost first |
| Docker → Docker | <1ms | Direct IP usually works |
| Host network mode | <1ms | No Docker IPs to resolve |

---

## Configuration

### Disable Docker Resolution

Not recommended, but possible:

```python
from sollol.discovery import discover_ollama_nodes

# Disable Docker IP resolution
nodes = discover_ollama_nodes(auto_resolve_docker=False)
```

### Force Deployment Mode

For testing or special cases:

```python
from sollol.docker_ip_resolver import _deployment_mode_cache

# Force bare metal detection
_deployment_mode_cache = False

# Force Docker detection
_deployment_mode_cache = True

# Reset (allow auto-detection)
_deployment_mode_cache = None
```

---

## Troubleshooting

### Issue 1: Docker Detection Not Working

**Symptom**: SOLLOL doesn't detect it's running in Docker

**Diagnosis**:
```python
from sollol import is_running_in_docker, get_deployment_context
import pathlib

print(f"In Docker: {is_running_in_docker()}")
print(f"/.dockerenv exists: {pathlib.Path('/.dockerenv').exists()}")

context = get_deployment_context()
print(f"Context: {context}")
```

**Solutions**:
1. Check if /.dockerenv exists: `ls -la /.dockerenv`
2. Check cgroups: `cat /proc/1/cgroup | grep docker`
3. Set explicit env var: `DOCKER_CONTAINER=true`

---

### Issue 2: Direct Docker IPs Not Accessible

**Symptom**: Running in Docker, but Docker IPs don't work

**Cause**: Different Docker networks (containers can't see each other)

**Solutions**:
1. Put all containers on same network:
   ```yaml
   networks:
     - shared-network
   ```
2. Use service names instead of IPs
3. Use host network mode
4. Publish ports and use localhost

---

### Issue 3: Network Mode Detection Fails

**Symptom**: Network mode shows "unknown"

**Cause**: netifaces library not installed

**Solutions**:
```bash
# Install netifaces for better detection
pip install netifaces

# Or rely on other detection methods
# (filesystem, cgroups still work)
```

---

## API Reference

### `is_running_in_docker() -> bool`

Detect if running inside Docker container.

**Returns**: `True` if running in Docker

**Detection methods**:
- /.dockerenv file
- /proc/1/cgroup (docker/containerd)
- DOCKER_CONTAINER env var

**Caching**: Result cached after first call

**Example**:
```python
from sollol import is_running_in_docker

if is_running_in_docker():
    print("Running in Docker")
```

---

### `get_docker_network_mode() -> str`

Detect Docker network mode if running in Docker.

**Returns**: "host" | "bridge" | "overlay" | "none" | "unknown"

**Detection methods**:
- Hostname resolution
- Network interfaces (netifaces)
- /proc/net/route

**Example**:
```python
from sollol import get_docker_network_mode

mode = get_docker_network_mode()
if mode == "host":
    print("Using host network - can access host services")
```

---

### `get_deployment_context() -> Dict`

Get comprehensive deployment information.

**Returns**:
```python
{
    "mode": "docker" | "bare_metal",
    "is_docker": bool,
    "network_mode": str,
    "container_id": str | None
}
```

**Example**:
```python
from sollol import get_deployment_context

context = get_deployment_context()
print(f"Mode: {context['mode']}")
print(f"Network: {context['network_mode']}")
if context['container_id']:
    print(f"Container: {context['container_id']}")
```

## Best Practices

### 1. Let SOLLOL Auto-Detect

**✅ Recommended**:
```python
from sollol import OllamaPool

# Auto-detection handles everything
pool = OllamaPool.auto_configure()
```

**❌ Avoid**:
```python
# Manual context management (unless testing)
context = get_deployment_context()
nodes = resolve_docker_ip(..., deployment_context=context)
```

### 2. Use Docker Compose Networks

**✅ Recommended**:
```yaml
services:
  sollol:
    networks: [shared]
  ollama:
    networks: [shared]
networks:
  shared:
```

**❌ Avoid**:
```yaml
# Separate networks = no direct access
services:
  sollol:
    networks: [network-a]
  ollama:
    networks: [network-b]
```

### 3. Publish Ports for External Access

**✅ Recommended**:
```yaml
services:
  ollama:
    ports:
      - "11434:11434"  # External access
```

### 4. Trust Auto-Resolution

SOLLOL's deployment-aware resolution handles:
- ✅ Bare metal → Docker
- ✅ Docker → Docker (same network)
- ✅ Docker → Docker (different networks)
- ✅ Mixed deployments
- ✅ Host network mode
- ✅ Bridge network mode
