Local Development

Build and run your application locally with Docker

Local development uses Docker Compose. Resources are defined in infra/dev_resources.py.

Start Local Environment

ag infra up

This starts:

• PostgreSQL database (port 5432)
• AgentOS API (port 8000)

Access points:

• API docs: http://localhost:8000/docs
• Health check: http://localhost:8000/health

View Logs

docker logs -f {infra_name}-api

Expected startup output:

INFO:     Started server process [1]
INFO:     Application startup complete.
INFO:     Uvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:8000

Building Custom Images

By default, the dev environment uses pre-built agno images. To build your own:

1. Update Settings

infra/settings.py

infra_settings = InfraSettings(
    ...
    image_repo="local",
    build_images=True,
)

2. Build the Image

ag infra up dev:docker -t image

Force rebuild (no cache):

ag infra up dev:docker -t image -f

Common Operations

Task	Command
Start all	ag infra up
Stop all	ag infra down
Restart containers	ag infra restart dev:docker -t container
Rebuild everything	ag infra up dev:docker -f
View API logs	docker logs -f {infra_name}-api
View DB logs	docker logs -f {infra_name}-db

Target Types

The -t flag filters what to create:

Target	Creates
(none)	Everything
image	Docker image only
container	Containers only

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
Port 8000 in use	Stop other services: docker ps then docker stop <container>
Port 5432 in use	Stop local PostgreSQL: brew services stop postgresql
Database errors	Restart: ag infra down && ag infra up
Old image cached	Force rebuild: ag infra up dev:docker -t image -f
