🚀 Quick Start (Choose One)

Option 1: Direct Docker (Easiest)

docker build -t symplectic-integrator .
docker run symplectic-integrator

Option 2: Helper Scripts

./scripts/docker-build.sh latest
./scripts/docker-run.sh "python src/cpu/benchmark.py"

Option 3: Docker Compose

docker-compose run symplectic-cpu bash
docker-compose up notebook  # Jupyter on port 8888

Option 4: GPU Testing

./scripts/docker-gpu-test.sh

✨ Key Features

🎯 Multi-Stage Optimization

# Stage 1: Builder (includes compiler toolchain)
FROM nvidia/cuda:11.8.0-devel-ubuntu22.04
RUN apt-get install -y build-essential cmake
RUN mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make

# Stage 2: Runtime (tiny, fast)
FROM nvidia/cuda:11.8.0-runtime-ubuntu22.04
COPY --from=builder /app/build /app/build
RUN apt-get install -y python3  # Minimal runtime!

🚀 GPU Support Built-In

🎨 Three Docker Compose Services

services:
  symplectic-cpu:      # Development CPU environment
  symplectic-gpu:      # GPU-accelerated execution
  notebook:            # Jupyter on http://localhost:8888

🔌 Volume Mounts

docker run \
  -v $(pwd)/data:/app/data \
  -v $(pwd)/notebooks:/app/notebooks \
  symplectic-integrator bash

🛠️ Helper Scripts (All Executable)

./scripts/docker-build.sh latest          # Build
./scripts/docker-run.sh "command"         # Run
./scripts/docker-gpu-test.sh              # Test GPU
./scripts/docker-clean.sh                 # Cleanup

📊 Comparison

Before

Project: Scripts only
Testing: Local machine dependent
GPU: Manual setup
Deployment: Requires exact environment replication
Portability: Difficult, many dependencies

After ✅

Project: Production-containerized
Testing: Reproducible in any container
GPU: Transparent via --gpus all
Deployment: "docker pull" and run
Portability: Works on Linux/macOS/Windows/Cloud

🎯 Common Commands

Build

# Simple
docker build -t symplectic-integrator .

# Multi-stage (smaller)
docker build -f Dockerfile.multistage -t symplectic-integrator:slim .

# With helper
./scripts/docker-build.sh latest

Run

# CPU benchmark
docker run symplectic-integrator

# Interactive
docker run -it symplectic-integrator bash

# With GPU (requires nvidia-docker)
docker run --gpus all symplectic-integrator ./build/example

# With volumes
docker run -v $(pwd)/data:/app/data symplectic-integrator bash

Jupyter

# Via compose
docker-compose up notebook

# Or manual
docker run -p 8888:8888 \
  -v $(pwd)/notebooks:/app/notebooks \
  symplectic-integrator \
  jupyter notebook --ip=0.0.0.0 --allow-root

Cleanup

docker-compose down
./scripts/docker-clean.sh

Quick Reference

💡 Pro Tips

Build Optimization

# Use multi-stage for smaller images
docker build -f Dockerfile.multistage -t symplectic:slim .

# Check layer sizes
docker history symplectic-integrator

Runtime Optimization

# Resource limits
docker run -m 4g --cpus=2 symplectic-integrator

# GPU specific
docker run --gpus=1 symplectic-integrator  # Single GPU
docker run --gpus=all symplectic-integrator  # All GPUs

Development

# Interactive debugging
docker run -it --entrypoint bash symplectic-integrator

# Check what's in the image
docker run symplectic-integrator ls -la /app

# Inspect image layers
docker history symplectic-integrator --human

🔒 Security

✅ Version pinning (CUDA 11.8.0, Python 3.10)
✅ Minimal runtime image (multi-stage)
✅ No secrets in .dockerignore
✅ Non-root user support ready
✅ Production best-practices

To scan for vulnerabilities:

docker scan symplectic-integrator
