VectorSearch Docker Image Build Guide

This project provides a Dockerfile to build a custom PostgreSQL-based image with extensions for vector search. You can customize the build by adjusting the variables in the Makefile.

Build Instructions

1. Clone the repository:

git clone <repository_url>
cd codecad-rag/retrieval/docker

1. To build the Docker image with the default settings:

make build

1. To customize the build, you can modify the following variables in the Makefile:

   • BUILD_VERSION: The version of the build. Default is 0.3.
   • PG_VERSIONS: The major versions of PostgreSQL to build for. Default is 14 15 16 17.
   • PGVECTOR_BASE_VERSION: The base version of the pgvector extension. Default is 0.8.0.
   • PG_SEARCH_VERSION: The version of the pg_search extension. Default is 0.15.8.
   • PG_VECTORSCALE_VERSION: The version of the pgvectorscale extension. Default is 0.5.1.

   For example, to build with PostgreSQL 15 and a custom build version:

# Edit the Makefile and set:
BUILD_VERSION = 1.0

1. After modifying the Makefile, you can build the Docker image with:

make build

1. To clean up the downloaded .deb files:

make clean

1. To prune the Docker images built by this project:

make prune

1. To push the built images to Docker Hub:

make push

Makefile Variables

The following variables in the Makefile can be tuned to adjust the build process:

• BUILD_VERSION: The version number to tag the Docker image. Default is 0.3.
• PG_SEARCH_VERSION: The version of the pg_search extension to download and install. Default is 0.15.8.
• PG_VECTORSCALE_VERSION: The version of the pgvectorscale extension to download and install. Default is 0.5.1.
• PG_VERSIONS: The major versions of PostgreSQL to build for. Default is 14 15 16 17.
• PG_VECTOR_BASE_VERSION: Combines the PGVECTOR_BASE_VERSION and PostgreSQL version to form the base image tag.
• BUILD_TAG: The tag used for the Docker image based on the build version and PostgreSQL version.
• LATEST_TAG: The “latest” tag used for the Docker image based on the PostgreSQL version.

By adjusting these variables, you can customize the Docker image to use different versions of PostgreSQL or the extensions.
