Dockerize Your LLM Proxy: One Container for Free Multi-Provider Access

DAVIL Cod, an open-source LLM proxy, now offers a Dockerfile that lets developers run a multi-provider LLM gateway in a single container. The container can be built and run with provider API keys as environment variables, supports persistent caching via volume mounts, and exposes a token-authenticated HTTP service for team use.

Want free LLM access in a repeatable, portable way? Run it as a container.

DAVIL Cod ships a Dockerfile. Build and run with provider keys as env vars:

docker build -t davil-cod .
docker run -p 4000:4000 \
  -e PROVIDER_GROQ_APIKEY=... \
  -e PROVIDER_MISTRAL_APIKEY=... \
  davil-cod

Does it persist the cache? Yes — mount a volume for the cache directory.

Can I expose it to my team? Yes — it's a normal HTTP service with token auth.
