Rasa Open Source

Hi,

I am new bee on python & Docker both. Now i am trying to build a chatbot . With the great tutorial, From zero to hero: Creating a chatbot with Rasa NLU and Rasa Core – Justina Petraitytė , i am able to build one custom bot. Its working fine in my local machine. Now i am struck on how to deploy it on docker to mimic into live production environment. I searched on internet and i am not able to connect to any links that are on this topic. Could anyone please share any links or projects thats has this deployment.

In short, i have a bot ready in my local and want to make it productionize through docker. Could anyone please provide step by step procedure to deploy the application onto Docker? Following are my basic questions

  1. How many containers do i need to have? One for Rasa NLU and other for Core and One more for other things like Flask as i am using http channel.
  2. In the many links, i see that Rasa Nlu has container set up but on for Core. Any reason for this? i read it as statefulness of rasa core is reason.
