Docker Installation

Preparation

1. git clone https://github.com/SeldonIO/seldon-core --branch=v2

2. Build Seldon CLI

3. Install Docker Compose (or directly from GitHubrelease if not using Docker Desktop).

4. Install make. This will depend on your version of Linux, for example on Ubuntu runsudo apt-get install build-essential.

Deploy

From the project root run:

make deploy-local

This will run with latest images for the components.

Note: Triton and MLServer are large images at present (11G and 9G respectively) so will take time to download on first usage.

Run a particular version

To run a particular release set the environment variable CUSTOM_IMAGE_TAG to the desired version before running the command, e.g.:

export CUSTOM_IMAGE_TAG=0.2.0
make deploy-local

GPU support

To enable GPU on servers:

1. Make sure that nvidia-container-runtime is installed, follow link

2. Enable GPU: export GPU_ENABLED=1

Local Models

To deploy with a local folder available for loading models set the environment variable LOCAL_MODEL_FOLDER to the folder, e.g.:

export LOCAL_MODEL_FOLDER=/home/seldon/models
make deploy-local

This folder will be mounted at /mnt/models. You can then specify models as shown below:

# samples/models/sklearn-iris-local.yaml
apiVersion: mlops.seldon.io/v1alpha1
kind: Model
metadata:
  name: iris
spec:
  storageUri: "/mnt/models/iris"
  requirements:
  - sklearn

If you have set the local model folder as above then this would be looking at /home/seldon/models/iris.

Tracing

The default local install will provide Jaeger tracing at http://0.0.0.0:16686/search.

Metrics

The default local install will expose Grafana at http://localhost:3000.

Undeploy

From the project root run:

make undeploy-local
