Uploading Container Images

Bailo uses a container (Docker) registry to store container images associated with models. Unlike files, container images are model-specific: you push an image to a model first, and then explicitly attach it to one or more releases.

Common questions this page answers:

• How do I push a container (Docker) image to Bailo?
• How do I add a container image to a release?
• What is a container image?

Pushing an image to a model

Push container images to the Bailo registry from the Registry tab on your model page.

This tab provides step-by-step instructions tailored to your model and registry.

The screenshot above shows the Registry tab with step-by-step instructions for logging in, tagging, and pushing a container image.

Adding an image to a release

Once pushed, container images can be attached to new or existing releases.

Edit an existing release or create a new one, then select the image from the available list.

The screenshot above shows a release being edited with a container image attached from the available list.

What is a container?

In the context of Bailo, a container is an isolated, self-contained application environment used to run a model. Packaging models as containers allows them to be started quickly, run consistently across environments, and used for inference without additional setup.
