# Description of Changes This pull request makes significant improvements to the Docker build process for the embedded Stirling-PDF image, focusing on build efficiency, runtime optimization, and maintainability. Key changes include upgrading major tool versions, introducing optional stripping of Calibre's WebEngine to reduce image size, consolidating ImageMagick layers, and refining the Python environment build process. The runtime image is now leaner, with clearer separation between build and runtime dependencies, and improved caching for faster builds and pulls. **Build and Dependency Management Improvements** * Upgraded Calibre to version `9.4.0` and added support for the `TARGETPLATFORM` build argument for multi-platform builds. * Added an optional `CALIBRE_STRIP_WEBENGINE` build argument to strip Chromium/WebEngine from Calibre, saving ~80 MB when PDF output via Calibre is not needed. * Consolidated ImageMagick outputs into a single staging directory (`/magick-export`) to reduce Docker layers and improve caching efficiency. * Refactored Python virtual environment build: now built in a dedicated stage with pre-built wheels and copied into the runtime image, eliminating the need for build tools and pip installs at runtime. **Runtime Image Optimization** * Reduced installed system packages to only what is needed at runtime; Python build tools and dev packages are no longer included. * Cleaned up unnecessary runtime files, including removal of build-only Python artifacts and system headers, for a smaller and more secure image. **Layer and Copy Optimization** * Switched to `COPY --link` for all major external tool layers and application files, enabling independent layer caching and parallel pulls for faster builds. **Runtime Configuration and Health** * Improved runtime directory structure and permissions, added persistent cache directories for Project Leyden AOT, and wrote the version tag to `/etc/stirling_version` for easier script access. * Updated the healthcheck to wait longer for startup and increased timeout/retries for more robust readiness detection. <!-- Please provide a summary of the changes, including: - What was changed - Why the change was made - Any challenges encountered Closes #(issue_number) --> --- ## Checklist ### General - [ ] I have read the [Contribution Guidelines](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) - [ ] I have read the [Stirling-PDF Developer Guide](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/blob/main/devGuide/DeveloperGuide.md) (if applicable) - [ ] I have read the [How to add new languages to Stirling-PDF](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/blob/main/devGuide/HowToAddNewLanguage.md) (if applicable) - [ ] I have performed a self-review of my own code - [ ] My changes generate no new warnings ### Documentation - [ ] I have updated relevant docs on [Stirling-PDF's doc repo](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-Tools.github.io/blob/main/docs/) (if functionality has heavily changed) - [ ] I have read the section [Add New Translation Tags](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/blob/main/devGuide/HowToAddNewLanguage.md#add-new-translation-tags) (for new translation tags only) ### Translations (if applicable) - [ ] I ran [`scripts/counter_translation.py`](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/blob/main/docs/counter_translation.md) ### UI Changes (if applicable) - [ ] Screenshots or videos demonstrating the UI changes are attached (e.g., as comments or direct attachments in the PR) ### Testing (if applicable) - [ ] I have tested my changes locally.

Usage
Separate Containers (Recommended)
From the project root directory:
# Standard version
docker-compose -f docker/compose/docker-compose.yml up --build
# Ultra-lite version
docker-compose -f docker/compose/docker-compose.ultra-lite.yml up --build
# Fat version
docker-compose -f docker/compose/docker-compose.fat.yml up --build
Access Points
- Frontend: http://localhost:3000
- Backend API (debugging): http://localhost:8080 (TODO: Remove in production)
- Backend API (via frontend): http://localhost:3000/api/*
Configuration
- Backend URL: Set
VITE_API_BASE_URLenvironment variable for custom backend locations - Custom Ports: Modify port mappings in docker-compose files
- Memory Limits: Adjust memory limits per variant (2G ultra-lite, 4G standard, 6G fat)
Google Drive Integration
- VITE_GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_ID: OAuth 2.0 Client ID
- VITE_GOOGLE_DRIVE_API_KEY: Create New API
- VITE_GOOGLE_DRIVE_APP_ID: This is your project number in the GoogleCloud Settings
Development vs Production
- Development: Keep backend port 8080 exposed for debugging
- Production: Remove backend port exposure, use only frontend proxy
