About this task
Copy link

After building your custom RAG container image, upload it to a central container registry to make it accessible for deployment. Publishing the image ensures that your organization’s AI services can securely pull and use the vector database from any authorized environment.

Procedure

  1. Load the image archive: 
    $ podman load < output/rag-content-output-latest.tar
  2. Tag the image for your registry: 
    $ podman tag localhost/rag-content-output:latest registry.example.com/aap/my-org-byok-rag:1.0
  3. Log in to your container registry: 
    $ podman login registry.example.com
  4. For containerized Ansible deployments only: Manually pull the image in the containerized installer Ansible Lightspeed instance VM: 
    $ podman pull registry.example.com/aap/my-org-byok-rag:1.0
  5. Push the image: 
    $ podman push registry.example.com/aap/my-org-byok-rag:1.0

What to do next

registry.example.com/aap/my-org-byok-rag        1.0
