When using lk agent deploy, can I pass a renamed Dockerfile? Or the dockerfile must always have that name and be in the root project dir?

Thanks for reaching out, Tom. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.

i have multiple dockerfiles for eg my fastapi deployment from my monorepo. Would it be more typical to put the livekit Dockerfile in some sub directory?

Thanks — good question. You're right that monorepos commonly have one Dockerfile per service. Because

lk agent deploy

requires a file named

Dockerfile

in the directory you run it from, the typical approaches are: • Keep the LiveKit service in its own subdirectory with its

Dockerfile

, then run

cd path/to/livekit-service && lk agent deploy

. • Keep Dockerfiles next to each service and script the deploy step (CI job or local script) to

cd

into the correct service folder before running the CLI. • If you prefer running from repo root, copy or symlink the service's Dockerfile to the root as

Dockerfile

before deploy (or have your build script do this). Which setup are you using (separate service folders, CI pipelines, or running from root)? I can suggest a concrete script or CI example for your workflow.
