Custom Install

By default, the installation is similar to a local single-machine deployment of Xinference, meaning there is only one worker, and all other parameters remain at their default settings.

Below are some common custom installation configurations.

1. I need to download models from ModelScope.

   helm install xinference xinference/xinference -n xinference --version 0.0.1-v<xinference_release_version> --set config.model_src="modelscope"
   

2. I want to use cpu image of xinference (or use any version of xinference images).

   helm install xinference xinference/xinference -n xinference --version 0.0.1-v<xinference_release_version> --set config.xinference_image="<xinference_docker_image>"
   

3. I want to have 4 Xinference workers, with each worker managing 4 GPUs.

   helm install xinference xinference/xinference -n xinference --version 0.0.1-v<xinference_release_version> --set config.worker_num=4 --set config.gpu_per_worker="4"
   

The above installation is based on the --set option of Helm. For more complex custom installations, such as configuring shared storage between workers, it is recommended to provide your own values.yaml file using the -f option. The default values.yaml is located at charts/xinference/values.yaml. For some examples, please refer to examples/.
