Jack Wotherspoon c7189e9fcf docs: use --tools-file over deprecated --tools_file (#524)
Updating docs to use the `--tools-file` flag over the now deprecated
`--tools_file`.

The new flag was added as of `v0.3.0` in #384 

This change reduces confusion as current usage in docs results in
following message on startup of Toolbox server:

```sh
Flag --tools_file has been deprecated, please use --tools-file instead
```

Fixes #514

Deploy using Docker Compose docs 3 How to deploy Toolbox using Docker Compose.

Before you begin

  1. Install Docker Compose.

Configure tools.yaml file

Create a tools.yaml file that contains your configuration for Toolbox. For details, see the configuration section.

Deploy using Docker Compose

  1. Create a docker-compose.yml file, customizing as needed:
services:
  toolbox:
    # TODO: It is recommended to pin to a specific image version instead of latest.
    image:  us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/database-toolbox/toolbox/toolbox:latest
    hostname: toolbox
    platform: linux/amd64
    ports:
      - "5000:5000"
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
    command: [ "toolbox", "--tools-file", "/config/tools.yaml", "--address", "0.0.0.0"]
    depends_on:
      db:
        condition: service_healthy
    networks:
      - tool-network
  db:
    # TODO: It is recommended to pin to a specific image version instead of latest.
    image: postgres
    hostname: db
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: toolbox_user
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: my-password
      POSTGRES_DB: toolbox_db
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"
    volumes:
      - ./db:/var/lib/postgresql/data
      # This file can be used to bootstrap your schema if needed.
      # See "initialization scripts" on https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres/ for more info
      - ./config/init.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init.sql
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U toolbox_user -d toolbox_db"]
      interval: 10s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 5
    networks:
      - tool-network
networks:
  tool-network:

  1. Run the following command to bring up the Toolbox and Postgres instance

    docker-compose up -d
    

{{< notice tip >}}

You can use this setup quickly set up Toolbox + Postgres to follow along in our Quickstart

{{< /notice >}}

Connecting with Toolbox Client SDK

Next, we will use Toolbox with the Client SDKs:

  1. The url for the Toolbox server running using docker-compose will be:

    http://localhost:5000
    
  2. Import and initialize the client with the URL:

    {{< tabpane persist=header >}} {{< tab header="LangChain" lang="Python" >}} from toolbox_langchain import ToolboxClient

Replace with the cloud run service URL generated above

toolbox = ToolboxClient("http://$YOUR_URL") {{< /tab >}} {{< tab header="Llamaindex" lang="Python" >}} from toolbox_llamaindex import ToolboxClient

Replace with the cloud run service URL generated above

toolbox = ToolboxClient("http://$YOUR_URL") {{< /tab >}} {{< /tabpane >}}
