Using Docker

The Rasa Pro Docker image is available on Docker Hub as rasa/rasa-pro.

note

In the commands below, replace RASAVERSION with your desired version of Rasa Pro. To find the latest version of Rasa Pro, see the Changelog.

To pull the image, run:

docker pull rasa/rasa-pro:RASAVERSION

Optional Dependencies (Extras)​

Rasa Pro supports optional dependencies through "extras":

  • nlu: Dependencies required for NLU components
  • channels: Dependencies required for channel connectors
  • full: Complete set of all optional dependencies

By default, the Rasa Pro Docker image already contains the nlu and channels dependencies.

Extending the Docker Image​

To extend the Docker image with optional dependencies that are not already included in the default image, create a custom Dockerfile:

# Extend the official Rasa Pro image
FROM rasa/rasa-pro:RASAVERSION

# Install all optional dependencies
RUN pip install rasa[full]

# Alternatively, install individual optional packages rather than all optional dependencies comprised in `full`
RUN pip install rasa[spacy]

Build and run your custom image:

# Build the custom image
docker build -t my-custom-rasa:latest .

# Run the custom image
docker run -v ./:/app \
            -e RASA_LICENSE=${RASA_LICENSE} \
            -p 5005:5005 \
            my-custom-rasa:latest \
            run

Licensing​

As explained in Licensing, at runtime you must provide the license key in the environment variable RASA_LICENSE.

After you defined the environment variable on your system, you can pass it into the docker container via the -e parameter, for example:

# execute `rasa init` via docker
docker run -v ./:/app \
            -e RASA_LICENSE=${RASA_LICENSE} \
            rasa/rasa-pro:RASAVERSION \
            init --no-prompt --template tutorial
