Recipes

Docker recipes already shipped in oke docker — SQL (including Cockroach, Yugabyte, Timescale), KV, proxy, and services.

Every recipe below is already wired into oke docker — pin an image in oke.config.ts and get env, healthcheck, and a connection URL for free.

These recipes are real, working infrastructure choices behind the same two templates (standard, advanced) and the same eight elements — not alternative products or separate frameworks.

The one rule

Vendor choice lives in images[…] — never in drivers.*, which only ever say protocol ids (postgres, redis, s3, smtp, meilisearch, openai-compatible, …).

SQL

KV

Driver id stays redis for every image below.

Proxy

Opt-in via images.proxy — leave unset until you need an edge or --scale app=N.

Services

AI

Compose does not manage inference. Prefer OpenRouter for zero-Docker fx.ask, or BYO any OpenAI-shaped /v1 via OKE_AI_URL / baseUrl — see Models.
