can you use docker images when you run

pyflyte run

without the remote option. e.g. if I define a

@task(container_image="XXXX"

, can I use this image locally when I run?

images are not used at all when you don’t use remote

they are run in your local python venv

truly local execution will not spin up the container.

so would the recommendation there be to run

pyflyte run

inside a locally mounted docker container

if you cannot replicate the environment locally yes. this is a limitation maybe? of the how local execution works.

if you have a workflow comprised of tasks that run different images… there’s no way for flytekit currently to spin those up
