Run PowerfulAI on Cloud using Docker
Running PowerfulAI on a cloud service is the best way to run a private multi-user instance of PowerfulAI with full control.
| Provider | Minimum Instance size |
|---|---|
| Amazon Web Services | t3.small |
| Google Cloud Provider | e2-standard-2 |
| Azure Cloud | B2ps v2 |
Once you are prepared to run PowerfulAI on your server the process is quite simple.
You should provision a folder somewhere on the host machine so that you can re-pull the latest versions of PowerfulAI and persist data between container rebuilds.
BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY
The MooriP team takes great care to ensure PowerfulAI is always backward compatible.
Note --cap-add SYS_ADMIN is a required command if you want to scrape
webpages. We use PuppeeteerJS (opens in a new tab) to
scrape websites links and --cap-add SYS_ADMIN lets us use sandboxed Chromium
across all runtimes for best security practices.
