AI-lab Experimental Software Templates

New candidate AI templates can be added under the templates folder. See templates/sampleapp for a sample template directory structure. Each template should have its own sub-directory under the templates folder.

TODO: change instructions to use RHDH directly

Usage in Red Hat Developer Hub

To import these templates click Register Existing Component on the Software Templates page.

Import https://github.com/redhat-ai-dev/ai-lab-template/blob/main/all.yaml

Usage in Backstage

Add the following to your app-config.yaml file in your Backstage configuration:

    - type: url
      target:  https://github.com/redhat-ai-dev/ai-lab-template/blob/main/all.yaml
      rules:
        - allow: [Location, Template]

This will add the samples into a set of Backstage templates.

On-prem Host Support

You need to ensure the on-prem host is being configured in the app-config.yaml file in your Backstage/RHDH configuration.

Change Default Host for Git or Quay

The properties file holds the default host for GitHub, GitLab and Quay.

Modifying the value and running ./generate.sh will generate new templates with the customized default value.

Providing On-prem Host Value When Creating a Component

On the Application Repository Information page provide your Git host under the Repository Server input.

Note: Please ensure the correct Host Type is selected.

On the Deployment Information page provide your Quay host under the Image Registry input.

Contributing

The templates are found in ./templates and reference reusable content in ./skeleton.

The templates are maintained by importing external samples into the software template format. This allows the external samples to be used standalone, developed, and evolved and then imported.

The pipelines are also maintained externally to allow standalone use outside of software templates, as well as evolution of the pipelines in one or more software templates.

To update the templates from these or any new samples you update the list of imported repos and run the following:

./generate.sh to generate all the templates before committing to this repository.

import-ai-lab-samples, import-gitops-template and update-tekton-definition take repourl and branch name as environment variables when running the scripts.

The following can be set respectively:

SAMPLE_REPO/GITOPS_REPO/PIPELINE_REPO and SAMPLE_BRANCH/GITOPS_BRANCH/PIPELINE_BRANCH

Adding Custom Models

For information regarding adding custom models that are not pre-packaged as part of the Podman Desktop AI Lab extension see adding-custom-models.md

MacOS

Due to differences between Linux and MacOS, the GNU version of sed is required to be installed.

brew install gnu-sed

After this, alter PATH. For example, add the following line to your ~/.bash_profile:

export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/gnu-sed/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
