# 🦌 DeerFlow - v2
> Originated from Open Source, give back to Open Source.
A LangGraph-based AI agent backend with sandbox execution capabilities.
## Quick Start
### Option 1: Docker (Recommended)
The fastest way to get started with a consistent environment:
1. **Configure the application**:
```bash
cp config.example.yaml config.yaml
# Edit config.yaml and set your API keys
```
2. **Initialize and start**:
```bash
make docker-start # Start all services
```
3. **Access**: http://localhost:2026
See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for detailed Docker development guide.
### Option 2: Local Development
If you prefer running services locally:
1. **Check prerequisites**:
```bash
make check # Verifies Node.js 22+, pnpm, uv, nginx
```
2. **Configure and install**:
```bash
cp config.example.yaml config.yaml
make install
```
3. **(Optional) Pre-pull sandbox image**:
```bash
# Recommended if using Docker/Container-based sandbox
make setup-sandbox
```
4. **Start services**:
```bash
make dev
```
5. **Access**: http://localhost:2026
See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for detailed local development guide.
### Sandbox Configuration
DeerFlow supports multiple sandbox execution modes. Configure your preferred mode in `config.yaml`:
**Local Execution** (runs sandbox code directly on the host machine):
```yaml
sandbox:
use: src.sandbox.local:LocalSandboxProvider # Local execution
```
**Docker Execution** (runs sandbox code in isolated Docker containers):
```yaml
sandbox:
use: src.community.aio_sandbox:AioSandboxProvider # Docker-based sandbox
```
**Docker Execution with Kubernetes** (runs sandbox code in Kubernetes pods):
Setup Kubernetes sandbox as per [Kubernetes Sandbox Setup](docker/k8s/README.md).
```bash
./docker/k8s/setup.sh
```
Then configure `config.yaml` with the Kubernetes service URL:
```yaml
sandbox:
use: src.community.k8s_sandbox:AioSandboxProvider # Kubernetes-based sandbox
base_url: http://deer-flow-sandbox.deer-flow.svc.cluster.local:8080 # Kubernetes service URL
```
