@ancient-wolf-19325 How do I specify an Docker image to use that is not build by ImageSpec for a task?
j
To specify a Docker image for a Flyte task without using ImageSpec, pass the image name as a string to the
container_image
(or
image
) parameter in the
@task
decorator. For example:
Copy code
from flytekit import task

@task(container_image="myrepo/myimage:latest")
def my_task():
    ...
This approach directly assigns the pre-built image to the task, bypassing ImageSpec. According to the Flyte ImageSpec documentation, the
container_image
parameter accepts either an ImageSpec or a string image name. Would you like more detail on using this with workflows or other task types? Sources: - Flyte ImageSpec documentation 👍 1 button 👎 0 button 💡 Hint: Mention @ancient-wolf-19325 in the thread for followups.

@ancient-wolf-19325 It seems like the cluster is unable to find my built image. I published it to my local registry:
localhost:30000
Copy code
Grace period [3m0s] exceeded|containers with unready status: [a4kqwhjkggrw86467n87-n0-0]|Back-off pulling image
j
This error usually means the Flyte cluster cannot access the image in your local registry. Ensure the image is pushed to
localhost:30000
, and that the Flyte cluster is configured to pull from this registry. Also, confirm the image tag matches exactly and that the registry is accessible from within the cluster. For local clusters, you may need to configure Docker or Kubernetes to trust and access
localhost:30000
as a registry. For more troubleshooting steps, see the Flyte troubleshooting guide and local registry setup instructions.
