joakimp 973c2efd5c Expand README + tweak DOCKER_HUB.md for users not cloning the repo

README rewrite:
- Two quick-start paths: 'no git clone' (curl docker-compose.yml +
  .env.example) and 'with git clone' for hackers/forkers
- New 'Authentication' section with subsections per provider
  (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, AWS Bedrock static, AWS Bedrock SSO).
  AWS SSO path documents the ~/.aws bind-mount.
- Persistent state expanded: 5-row volume table + optional volumes
  table. Annotated what survives what.
- Configuration reference: full .env table.
- Versioning, building from source (with build args table),
  troubleshooting FAQ, related projects, license.
- 11 kB total — comprehensive but readable.

DOCKER_HUB.md tweaks:
- Quick-start now has a 'no git clone' path (curl two files), pointing
  users at the gitea README for the full setup guide. The git-clone
  path was overkill for the 90% case (just want to docker run).
- Explicit link to gitea README at the end of the quick-start block.

pi-devbox

A Docker container with pi coding-agent pre-installed, built on top of opencode-devbox's base image. Pi gets a fully-loaded development environment in one docker run.

Image variants

Tag	Size (compressed)	What you get
`joakimp/pi-devbox:latest`	~700 MB	Pi + companion repos, on top of the opencode-devbox base
`joakimp/pi-devbox:vX.Y.Z`	same	Pinned pi version (tracks the pi npm package version)

Multi-arch: linux/amd64, linux/arm64.

Quick start

One-shot, no persistence:

docker run -it --rm \
  -v "$PWD":/workspace \
  -v "$HOME/.ssh":/home/developer/.ssh:ro \
  -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="$ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" \
  joakimp/pi-devbox:latest pi

For a fully-configured environment with persistent settings, MemPalace memory, neovim plugins, and shell history surviving container recreation, use docker-compose. You don't need to clone the repo — just grab two template files:

mkdir -p ~/pi-devbox && cd ~/pi-devbox
curl -O https://gitea.jordbo.se/joakimp/pi-devbox/raw/branch/main/docker-compose.yml
curl -fsSL https://gitea.jordbo.se/joakimp/pi-devbox/raw/branch/main/.env.example -o .env
# Edit .env — set WORKSPACE_PATH, an LLM API key (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
# OPENAI_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY, or AWS_*), and your git identity.
docker compose run --rm devbox pi

What's inside

Inherited from opencode-devbox base:

Debian trixie (latest stable)
Node.js (LTS), uv (Python tooling), rustup (Rust on-demand)
AWS CLI v2 + AWS Bedrock-ready config
MemPalace + MCP server — persistent agent memory across sessions, queryable via mempalace_* tools inside pi
Gitea MCP server
Dev tools: neovim (LazyVim defaults), tmux, bat, eza, fzf, zoxide, ripgrep, git-lfs, make
Shell: bash with history tuning, prefix-search bindings, fzf/zoxide integration

Added by pi-devbox:

pi (@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent) — baked at /usr/bin/pi, version pinned at build time via the PI_VERSION build-arg
pi-toolkit — keybindings (mosh/tmux-friendly Shift+Enter, Ctrl+J, Alt+J newline bindings), AWS env loader, settings template
pi-extensions — 7 user-facing extensions: ext-toggle (manage extensions interactively), mcp-loader (load MCP servers via settings.json), todo, ssh-controlmaster, notify, git-checkpoint, confirm-destructive
mempalace bridge — MCP extension auto-symlinked from /opt/mempalace-toolkit so pi can read/write the same palace as opencode

The entrypoint deploys all of these on first container start. Re-running is idempotent and preserves user edits.

Versioning

Tags follow the pi npm version: v0.74.0, v0.75.0, etc. latest always points at the most recent release. When pi cuts a new upstream version, this image is rebuilt and re-tagged to match.

For container-level rebuilds on the same pi version (security updates, base bumps, fixes) the tag gets a letter suffix: v0.74.0b, v0.74.0c, …

Persistent state

User edits and pi-installed packages survive container recreation when you mount these named volumes. Use the included docker-compose.yml and they're set up automatically.

Volume	Mount point	What it holds
`devbox-pi-config`	`/home/developer/.pi/`	pi settings, extension toggles, sessions, user-installed pi packages (`npm install -g`, `pi install npm:…`)
`devbox-shell-history`	`/home/developer/.cache/bash`	bash history
`devbox-zoxide`	`/home/developer/.local/share/zoxide`	zoxide directory jump database
`devbox-nvim-data`	`/home/developer/.local/share/nvim`	neovim plugin & Mason package state
`devbox-uv`	`/home/developer/.local/share/uv`	uv Python installs and tool cache

Optional volumes for MemPalace (commented out by default — uncomment in docker-compose.yml to persist conversation memory across restarts):

Volume	Mount point	What it holds
`devbox-palace`	`/home/developer/.mempalace`	palace data (drawers, knowledge graph, embeddings)
`devbox-chroma-cache`	`/home/developer/.cache/chroma`	ChromaDB embedding model cache (~80 MB, can be rebuilt)

User-installed pi packages

NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX is set inside the container to /home/developer/.pi/npm-global. Anything you pi install npm:<pkg> or npm install -g lands on the devbox-pi-config named volume — survives container recreation and image rebuilds. A user-installed pi wins over the baked one via PATH order, so you can pin a different pi version without rebuilding the image.
