App Connector · Developer & cloud

Docker

Run extra tools in separate containers on your computer.

Start and stop tools from the Docker catalog and read their logs when something goes wrong.

What you can do

A connector lets the assistant use an app or tool for you. Once connected, ask it to work with Docker.

Run from the catalog

Start and stop tools from the Docker catalog, each in a separate container.

Stay isolated

The tools run in separate containers on your computer. You can stop and remove them when finished.

Read the logs

Pull container logs from the gateway when something misbehaves.

Things you can ask

Type these in chat once the connector is on.

Start the Postgres tool server from the Docker catalogWhich containers is the gateway running right now?Show the logs from the search server container

What you need

No separate account is needed. Docker Desktop, or an equivalent Docker installation on your computer, must be running.

Setup details

No account needed. Docker Desktop or a local Docker daemon must be running.

When a task uses an online app, that app receives the request. Its results may also be sent to the AI service handling your chat. You can turn the connector on for one workspace and leave it off for another.

Once Docker is on

A connected app is a source. These are the parts of Plexon that draw on it.

  • AI Chat & Modes

    Turn one on with your own account and the assistant works inside that app.

  • Dynamic Workflows

    An inbound message or a poll on a connected app starts a run.

    A Tool step calls a connector directly, spending zero AI tokens.

  • Dashboards

    A widget's data can come from a connector tool call, refreshed on a timer.

  • Action Record & Tool Rules

    A call to a connected app is written down before it runs and again when it ends, with the app named on the row.

More in Developer & cloud

Connectors stack: turn on several and the assistant moves work between them.

Connect Docker to Plexon
