Deploy A2A Server as a Service

docker run -e CMD=media-downloader-agent \
           -e PROVIDER=openai \
           -e MODEL_ID=qwen2.5:7b \
           -p 8000:8000 \
           my-media-downloader-image

Deploy MCP Server as a Service

The MCP server can be deployed using Docker, with configurable authentication, middleware, and Eunomia authorization.

Using Docker Run

docker pull knucklessg1/media-downloader:latest

docker run -d \
  --name media-downloader-mcp \
  -p 8004:8004 \
  -e HOST=0.0.0.0 \
  -e PORT=8004 \
  -e TRANSPORT=http \
  -e AUTH_TYPE=none \
  -e EUNOMIA_TYPE=none \
  -e DOWNLOAD_DIRECTORY=/downloads \
  -e AUDIO_ONLY=false \
  -v "/home/genius/Downloads:/downloads" \
  knucklessg1/media-downloader:latest

For advanced authentication (e.g., JWT, OAuth Proxy, OIDC Proxy, Remote OAuth) or Eunomia, add the relevant environment variables:

docker run -d \
  --name media-downloader-mcp \
  -p 8004:8004 \
  -e HOST=0.0.0.0 \
  -e PORT=8004 \
  -e TRANSPORT=http \
  -e AUTH_TYPE=oidc-proxy \
  -e OIDC_CONFIG_URL=https://provider.com/.well-known/openid-configuration \
  -e OIDC_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id \
  -e OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret \
  -e OIDC_BASE_URL=https://your-server.com \
  -e ALLOWED_CLIENT_REDIRECT_URIS=http://localhost:*,https://*.example.com/* \
  -e EUNOMIA_TYPE=embedded \
  -e EUNOMIA_POLICY_FILE=/app/mcp_policies.json \
  -e DOWNLOAD_DIRECTORY=/downloads \
  -e AUDIO_ONLY=false \
  -v "/home/genius/Downloads:/downloads" \
  knucklessg1/media-downloader:latest

Using Docker Compose

Create a docker-compose.yml file:

services:
  media-downloader-mcp:
    image: knucklessg1/media-downloader:latest
    environment:
      - HOST=0.0.0.0
      - PORT=8004

      - AUDIO_ONLY=false
    volumes:
      - "/home/genius/Downloads:/downloads"
    ports:
      - 8004:8004

For advanced setups with authentication and Eunomia:

services:
  media-downloader-mcp:
    image: knucklessg1/media-downloader:latest
    environment:
      - HOST=0.0.0.0
      - PORT=8004
      - TRANSPORT=http
      - AUTH_TYPE=oidc-proxy
      - OIDC_CONFIG_URL=https://provider.com/.well-known/openid-configuration
      - OIDC_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
      - OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
      - OIDC_BASE_URL=https://your-server.com
      - ALLOWED_CLIENT_REDIRECT_URIS=http://localhost:*,https://*.example.com/*
      - EUNOMIA_TYPE=embedded
      - EUNOMIA_POLICY_FILE=/app/mcp_policies.json
      - DOWNLOAD_DIRECTORY=/downloads
      - AUDIO_ONLY=false
