| name | docker-compose-operations |
| description | Operations for local container stacks defined in docker-compose.yaml or docker-compose/ directory. Handles AI/ML services (Ollama, ComfyUI), standalone databases, and local observability stacks. Use for 'docker compose' commands, checking container logs, or restarting specific local services. For cluster Grafana/Prometheus (via kubectl or cluster/manifests/), use kubernetes-operations instead. |

- Access services via
*.127.0.0.1.nip.io domains through Envoy gateway
- GPU services require
runtime: nvidia (NVIDIA Docker runtime)
- Use
docker compose logs -f <service> for real-time log monitoring
- Inside the claudex sandbox every
docker subcommand reaches the rootless daemon, which holds none of this stack - take the route in ### Reaching the Stack from the claudex Sandbox instead

docker compose exec mysql mysql -u hippocampus -p
docker compose exec dcgm-exporter nvidia-smi
docker compose restart prometheus
Web Interfaces
Services are accessible via http://{service}.127.0.0.1.nip.io.
See docker-compose/envoy/envoy.yaml for available domains.
| Service | URL | Note |
|---|
| Envoy Admin | http://localhost:9901 | Direct access |
| mitmproxy Web | http://localhost:18081 | Direct access |
Debugging Workflow
- Check service status:
docker compose ps
- View logs:
docker compose logs -f <service>
- Check health:
docker compose exec <service> healthcheck-command
- Inspect network:
docker compose exec envoy curl -s http://<service>:<port>/health
| Symptom | Action |
|---|
| Service not starting | Check logs, verify dependencies, check volumes |
| Connection refused | Verify network, check service health |
| GPU not available | Check nvidia-smi, verify runtime configuration |
| Model download failed | Check HF_HUB_TOKEN, verify network access |
Reaching the Stack from the claudex Sandbox
| Need | Route |
|---|
| Logs | journalctl -u hippocampus-compose.service |
| Web UI, HTTP API | http://{service}.127.0.0.1.nip.io |
| Datastore query, health endpoint | The port the service publishes on 127.0.0.1 - redis-cli, mysql and mc are absent, so drive it with curl or python3 |
| GPU state | nvidia-smi directly, not docker compose exec dcgm-exporter nvidia-smi |
Service status, exec, up/down/restart, volume contents | Ask the user to run that docker compose subcommand on the host |
Every service's output reaches the journal of hippocampus-compose.service.
journalctl -u hippocampus-compose.service -f
journalctl -u hippocampus-compose.service --no-pager -o cat | grep '^comfyui-1 '
Each line keeps the <service>-1 | prefix docker compose up writes, so grep selects one service the way docker compose logs <service> would.
Volume Management
docker volume ls | grep hippocampus
docker volume inspect hippocampus_comfyui-models
docker compose exec ephemeral-container ls /home/nonroot/ComfyUI/models
