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

[DAVIL Cod](https://github.com/Artur21101965/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.
