WalkthroughRAG now places model and helper containers on a shared network. It supports existing networks and skipped cleanup. Service URLs use container names. Host binding, VM-aware publishing, cleanup, documentation, and tests were updated. ChangesRAG networking and serving
Priority: ➖ Normal — Schedule the RAG networking change because it broadly updates container connectivity, private service exposure, cleanup behavior, and user-configurable network controls. Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The private-network change may leave generated services unreachable on macOS and Windows and may prevent RAG containers from connecting to helper services.

In `@docs/ramalama-rag.1.md`:
- Line 107: Update the documentation wording near the server cleanup
instructions to use “afterward” instead of “afterwards,” preserving the existing
meaning and command guidance.
In `@ramalama/common.py`:
- Around line 343-344: Apply complete mypy-compatible type annotations to the
listed functions: annotate common.py lines 343-344 function genname’s prefix
parameter and str return; annotate engine.py lines 482-523 functions
create_network and remove_network, including args and return types; annotate
handler.py lines 266-284 function _report_skipped_cleanup parameters and return
type; and annotate sandbox.py lines 25-43 function’s sb_args parameter while
retaining its None return type.
In `@ramalama/compose.py`:
- Line 113: Update the Compose host binding in the surrounding method to call
format_vm_aware_publish_prefix() instead of format_bind_host_publish_prefix(),
and add coverage for Darwin and Windows confirming the generated Compose output
preserves host-local service reachability.
In `@ramalama/engine.py`:
- Line 497: Update create_network in ramalama/engine.py at lines 497-497 to
build the network-create command through engine_cmd(conman). Update
remove_network at lines 516-519 in the same file to use engine_cmd(conman) for
the network-removal command, preserving the existing arguments and behavior.
In `@ramalama/plugins/runtimes/inference/rag/handler.py`:
- Line 203: Update the RAG handler’s internal helper-server arguments at
handler.py lines 203-203 to use get_wildcard_host() instead of 127.0.0.1, and
set the backing model server host to the same wildcard address at lines 239-244
before startup. Add a non-dry-run regression test that verifies connectivity
between two containers on the created network.

The `ramalama rag` ingestion pipeline previously reached its llama.cpp helper servers (docling VLM, embedding, optional captioning) from the doc2rag container via host.containers.internal, which required publishing those server ports on a wildcard host interface (the expose_to_containers stopgap). Instead, create a private container network for the run and have the containers reach each other by container name; the model server ports are no longer exposed to other containers. Details: - engine: add create_network()/remove_network() helpers; genname() gains a prefix parameter. - rag handler: create the network up front, join every helper and the doc2rag container to it, and address helpers by container name (http://<name>:<port>). Helper ports are still published to host loopback so the readiness health checks work. Widen the try/finally so the network is always removed even if a model pull fails, and remove (not just stop) the helper containers so docker can tear the network down. - rag: add --network/--net to join the pipeline to an existing container network. Track whether RamaLama created the network and only remove one it created; a user-supplied network is joined and left in place. - rag: add --skip-cleanup to leave the servers and network running for debugging; the command prints how to inspect and clean them up. - Update unit tests, e2e tests, and docs accordingly. Also convert run/serve --rag to the same private-network model: the model and embedding servers now join a shared network and are reached by container name (--model-host / --embed-url) instead of host.containers.internal, so the expose_to_containers stopgap is removed entirely. serve_nonblocking always honors the configured host (loopback by default).
