To create a Docker image with Airbyte, you have two main options: using the

airbyte-ci

tool or creating a Dockerfile manually. Below are the detailed steps for both methods: ### Option A: Using

airbyte-ci

Tool This is the preferred method for building and testing connectors, especially if you plan to open source your connector. 1. Install

airbyte-ci

Tool: Follow the instructions to install the [

airbyte-ci

](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/blob/master/airbyte-ci/connectors/pipelines/README.md) tool. 2. Build the Connector Image: Run the following command to build your connector image:

bash    airbyte-ci connectors --name source-<source-name> build

Replace

<source-name>

with the name of your source connector. 3. Locate the Built Image: Once the command is done, you will find your connector image in your local Docker host with the tag

airbyte/source-<source-name>:dev

. ### Option B: Using a Dockerfile If you prefer not to use

airbyte-ci

, you can manually create a Dockerfile. Note that this method is not preferred and is not supported for certified connectors. 1. Create a Dockerfile: Create a

Dockerfile

in the root of your connector directory with the following content:

dockerfile    FROM airbyte/python-connector-base:1.1.0     COPY . ./airbyte/integration_code    RUN pip install ./airbyte/integration_code     # The entrypoint and default env vars are already set in the base image    # ENV AIRBYTE_ENTRYPOINT "python /airbyte/integration_code/main.py"    # ENTRYPOINT ["python", "/airbyte/integration_code/main.py"]

2. Build the Docker Image: Run the following command to build your Docker image:

bash    docker build . -t airbyte/source-example-python:dev

### Additional Steps for Local Development If you are developing locally and want to add your connector to the Airbyte platform, follow these steps: 1. Run Airbyte Platform: In your local

airbyte

repository, run:

bash    ./run-ab-platform

2. Build the Connector Image: Use the

airbyte-ci

tool as described above to build your connector image. 3. Update Airbyte Settings: - Visit [http://localhost:8000/](http://localhost:8000/) - Log in with the default user

airbyte

and default password

password

- Go to

Settings

(gear icon in lower left corner) - Go to

Sources

or

Destinations

(depending on which connector you are testing) - Update the version number to use your Docker image tag (default is

dev

) - Click

Change

to save the changes Now, when you run a sync with that connector, it will use your local Docker image. ### References - [Reading Data from the Source](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/tutorials/cdk-speedrun#reading-data-from-the-source) - [Add a Connector Under Development to Airbyte](https://docs.airbyte.com/contributing-to-airbyte/resources/developing-locally#add-a-connector-under-development-to-airbyte) Feel free to follow these steps to create and use your Docker image with Airbyte.

and also i want to utilize docker compose

@kapa.ai i want the airbyte ui not just cli tool and also i want to utilize docker compose

It looks like Docker Compose is unable to find the configuration file. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. Ensure You Are in the Correct Directory: Make sure you are in the directory where the

docker-compose.yml

file is located. You can navigate to the directory using the

cd

command:

bash    cd path/to/airbyte

2. Check for the Configuration File: Verify that the

docker-compose.yml

file exists in the directory. You can list the files in the directory using:

bash    ls

You should see

docker-compose.yml

in the output. 3. Clone the Repository Correctly: If the file is missing, ensure you have cloned the repository correctly. Run the following commands to clone the repository and navigate into the directory:

bash    git clone <https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte.git>    cd airbyte

4. Run Docker Compose with the Correct File: If the

docker-compose.yml

file is present, try running Docker Compose again:

bash    docker-compose up

If you still encounter issues, it might be due to missing environment variables or other configuration issues. Here are some additional steps: 5. Check for Environment Variables: Ensure that all necessary environment variables are set. You can create a

.env

file in the same directory as your

docker-compose.yml

file and define the required variables. For example:

bash    echo "RUN_DATABASE_MIGRATION_ON_STARTUP=" >> .env    echo "NEW_SCHEDULER=" >> .env    echo "SECRET_PERSISTENCE=" >> .env    echo "WORKER_ENVIRONMENT=" >> .env

6. Verbose Output for Debugging: Run Docker Compose with the

--verbose

flag to get more detailed output, which can help in debugging:

bash    docker-compose --verbose up

If you follow these steps and still face issues, you might want to refer to the [Airbyte documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/docker-compose) for more detailed setup instructions. References: - [Airbyte Documentation: Deploying Airbyte with Docker Compose](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/docker-compose) - [Forum Post: HTTP request error using docker-compose command](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/1444) - [Forum Post: ERROR: Invalid interpolation format for "environment" when run docker-compose up](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/54)

@kapa.ai there is no docker-compose to setup airbyte ui

It appears that the

docker-compose up

command has been deprecated for setting up Airbyte. Instead, you should use the new command provided in the updated documentation. Here are the steps to set up the Airbyte UI using the new method: 1. Install Docker and Docker Compose: Make sure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your machine. If you haven't set Docker up, follow the [instructions here](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/) to set it up on your machine. 2. Clone the Airbyte Repository: Open your terminal and run the following commands to clone the Airbyte repository and navigate into the directory:

bash    git clone <https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte.git>    cd airbyte

3. Start Airbyte: Use the new command to start Airbyte. The exact command might be specified in the updated documentation, but typically it involves running a script provided in the repository. For example:

bash    ./run-ab-platform.sh

4. Access the Airbyte UI: Once the services are up and running, you can access the Airbyte UI by navigating to [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000) in your web browser. You will be asked for a username and password. By default, the username is

airbyte

and the password is

password

. You can change these credentials in your

.env

file if needed:

bash    # Proxy Configuration      # Set to empty values, e.g. "" to disable basic auth      BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME=your_new_username_here      BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=your_new_password_here
