* fix(docker): bake non_root prisma engines at /opt/prisma so migrations run offline for any uid The non_root image baked the prisma CLI and engines under /app/.cache and used the CLI's default (library) engine mode. Prisma stopped baking the library engine, so `prisma migrate deploy` fell back to downloading it at startup, which needs network egress and a writable cache. Under an arbitrary non-root uid (OpenShift restricted-v2), an air-gapped network, or a readOnlyRootFilesystem, that download fails and the proxy starts on an empty schema while every DB endpoint returns 500. The migration entrypoint exits 0 on that failure, so a default-uid `docker run` with network never surfaced it Bake to /opt/prisma, a fixed world-readable path no cache mount shadows, and pin PRISMA_CLI_PATH plus PRISMA_CLI_QUERY_ENGINE_TYPE=binary so the baked binary engine is used directly, matching Dockerfile and Dockerfile.database. A build-time guard asserts the binary query engine is present, so a future prisma change that stops baking it fails the image build instead of silently degrading migrations Adds docker/test_offline_migration.sh, run from image-scan, which migrates a fresh Postgres with no egress as a non-root uid and asserts the schema was created, the case a default-uid `docker run` with network cannot catch * test(docker): move the offline migration check into a gated pytest and stop pinning XDG_CACHE_HOME at the read-only bake The offline migration check lived in docker/ as a shell script. It now lives in tests/proxy_migration_tests/ as a pytest gated on LITELLM_IMAGE, matching the sibling schema-migration test gated on DATABASE_URL, and image-scan invokes it with pytest instead of bash. It also asserts the migration entrypoint's exit code alongside the table count, so a crash or a container-startup failure fails loudly rather than only surfacing as a low table count Runtime XDG_CACHE_HOME pointed at /opt/prisma/.cache, which is baked a+rX with no write, so any XDG-aware library writing a cache at runtime would be denied for every uid. Leave it unset so it falls back to $HOME/.cache (/app/.cache, created here and owned by the runtime uid), matching Dockerfile and Dockerfile.database which never pin XDG at runtime. A second test guards against a future edit pointing a cache or home var back at the read-only bake |

Docker Development Guide
This guide provides instructions for building and running the LiteLLM application using Docker and Docker Compose.
Prerequisites
- Docker
- Docker Compose
Building and Running the Application
To build and run the application, you will use the docker-compose.yml file located in the root of the project. This file is configured to use the Dockerfile.non_root for a secure, non-root container environment.
1. Set the Master Key
The application requires a LITELLM_MASTER_KEY for signing and validating tokens. You must set this key as an environment variable before running the application.
Create a .env file in the root of the project and add the following line:
LITELLM_MASTER_KEY=your-secret-key
Replace your-secret-key with a strong, randomly generated secret.
2. Build and Run the Containers
Once you have set the LITELLM_MASTER_KEY, you can build and run the containers using the following command:
docker compose up -d --build
This command will:
- Build the Docker image using
Dockerfile.non_root. - Start the
litellm,litellm_db, andprometheusservices in detached mode (-d). - The
--buildflag ensures that the image is rebuilt if there are any changes to the Dockerfile or the application code.
3. Verifying the Application is Running
You can check the status of the running containers with the following command:
docker compose ps
To view the logs of the litellm container, run:
docker compose logs -f litellm
4. Stopping the Application
To stop the running containers, use the following command:
docker compose down
Hardened / Offline Testing
To ensure changes are safe for non-root, read-only root filesystems and restricted egress, always validate with the hardened compose file:
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.hardened.yml build --no-cache
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.hardened.yml up -d
This setup:
- Builds from
docker/Dockerfile.non_rootwith Prisma engines and Node toolchain baked into the image. - Runs the proxy as a non-root user with a read-only rootfs and only writable tmpfs mounts:
/app/cache(Prisma/NPM cache; backingPRISMA_BINARY_CACHE_DIR,NPM_CONFIG_CACHE,XDG_CACHE_HOME)/app/migrations(Prisma migration workspace; backingLITELLM_MIGRATION_DIR)
- Pre-builds and serves the admin UI from read-only paths:
/var/lib/litellm/ui(pre-restructured Next.js UI with.litellm_ui_readymarker)/var/lib/litellm/assets(UI logos and assets)
- Routes all outbound traffic through a local Squid proxy that denies egress, so Prisma migrations must use the cached CLI and engines.
You should also verify offline Prisma behaviour with:
docker run --rm --network none --entrypoint prisma ghcr.io/berriai/litellm:main-stable --version
This command should succeed (showing engine versions) even with --network none, confirming that Prisma binaries are available without network access.
Troubleshooting
build_admin_ui.sh: not found: This error can occur if the Docker build context is not set correctly. Ensure that you are running thedocker-composecommand from the root of the project.Master key is not initialized: This error means theLITELLM_MASTER_KEYenvironment variable is not set. Make sure you have created a.envfile in the project root with theLITELLM_MASTER_KEYdefined.
