Setting Up a Local Host Server and Run OrbitAI Agents with Docker

With these steps, you can now deploy and run OrbitAI Agents securely on your local host server. Stay tuned for our GitHub repository launch, where you’ll find additional tools to make the process easy

This guide will walk you through setting up a local host server on your Windows machine using Docker, so you can securely run and deploy OrbitAI Agents. Follow these steps carefully:

---

Step 1: Open Windows Terminal

1. Press Windows + S to open the search bar.

2. Type "Windows Terminal" and press Enter.

3. You’ll see a terminal window open, ready for commands.

---

Step 2: Install Docker

Docker is required to containerize and run the OrbitAI Agents securely on your local host.

1. Download Docker Desktop:

   • Go to the official Docker website and download Docker Desktop for Windows.

2. Install Docker:

   • Run the downloaded installer and follow the on-screen instructions.

   • Ensure you select the option to enable WSL 2 features during installation (Windows Subsystem for Linux).

3. Start Docker:

   • After installation, open Docker Desktop from the Start menu.

   • Confirm Docker is running by checking its icon in the system tray.

4. Verify Installation:

   • In your Windows Terminal, type the following command and press Enter:

     docker --version

   • If Docker is installed correctly, it will display the current version.

Step 3: Access OrbitAI’s GitHub Repository (Coming Soon)

Our GitHub repository will host the files and commands you need to deploy OrbitAI Agents. Once available:

1. Open a browser and navigate to our GitHub repository (link coming soon).

2. Locate the Docker Setup Files section in the repository.

3. Download or clone the repository to your local machine using this command in the terminal:

   git clone https://github.com/OrbitAI/OrbitAI-Agents.git

Step 4: Set Up Your Agent Using Docker

1. Navigate to the Folder:

   • Use the cd command to navigate to the folder where you downloaded the repository. For example:

     cd C:\Users\YourUsername\OrbitAI-Agents

2. Run the Docker Command:

   • Copy the provided Docker commands from the GitHub repository and paste them into the terminal. For example:

     docker build -t orbitai-agent .
     docker run -d -p 8000:8000 orbitai-agent

3. Access Your Agent:

   • Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:8000 to access the OrbitAI interface.

Step 5: Secure Your Local Deployment

1. Check Firewall Settings:

   • Ensure your local firewall allows Docker to run but blocks unauthorized external access to the local host.

2. Use Secure Credentials:

   • Always set strong passwords for any agent or interface requiring authentication.

---

Step 6: Verify Agent Operation

1. Check the logs in Docker to confirm your agent is running:

   docker logs <container_id>

   Replace <container_id> with the ID of your running container.

2. Test the functionality of your OrbitAI Agent through the local interface.
