This PR adds complete Docker containerization for the GenAI Cookbook, allowing users to run both the MAX model server and Next.js web application in a single container.
Dockerfile Architecture
The Dockerfile builds on Modular's official base images with GPU support:
Process Management with pm2
The container runs two processes managed by pm2 via ecosystem.config.js:
- Runs max serve --model ${MAX_MODEL} (defaults to google/gemma-3-27b-it)
- Listens on port 8000
- Auto-restarts on crashes
- Waits for MAX health endpoint (wait-on http://0.0.0.0:8000/health)
- Runs npm start on port 3000
- Auto-configured to use the local MAX endpoint
This orchestration ensures the MAX server is ready before the web app starts, eliminating race conditions.
Documentation Updates
Added "Running with Docker" section to README.md:
Users can now build and run the entire stack with a single docker build and docker run command.
