This document outlines the deployment process for a VisualQnA application utilizing the GenAIComps microservice pipeline on Intel Xeon server. The steps include Docker image creation, container deployment via Docker Compose, and service execution to integrate microservices such as llm
. We will publish the Docker images to Docker Hub soon, it will simplify the deployment process for this service.
To apply a Xeon server on AWS, start by creating an AWS account if you don't have one already. Then, head to the EC2 Console to begin the process. Within the EC2 service, select the Amazon EC2 M7i or M7i-flex instance type to leverage 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors. These instances are optimized for high-performance computing and demanding workloads.
For detailed information about these instance types, you can refer to this link. Once you've chosen the appropriate instance type, proceed with configuring your instance settings, including network configurations, security groups, and storage options.
After launching your instance, you can connect to it using SSH (for Linux instances) or Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) (for Windows instances). From there, you'll have full access to your Xeon server, allowing you to install, configure, and manage your applications as needed.
First of all, you need to build Docker Images locally and install the python package of it.
git clone https://github.com/opea-project/GenAIComps.git
cd GenAIComps
docker build --no-cache -t opea/lvm:latest --build-arg https_proxy=$https_proxy --build-arg http_proxy=$http_proxy -f comps/lvms/src/Dockerfile .
docker build --no-cache -t opea/nginx:latest --build-arg https_proxy=$https_proxy --build-arg http_proxy=$http_proxy -f comps/third_parties/nginx/src/Dockerfile .
To construct the Mega Service, we utilize the GenAIComps microservice pipeline within the visualqna.py
Python script. Build MegaService Docker image via below command:
git clone https://github.com/opea-project/GenAIExamples.git
cd GenAIExamples/VisualQnA
docker build --no-cache -t opea/visualqna:latest --build-arg https_proxy=$https_proxy --build-arg http_proxy=$http_proxy -f Dockerfile .
Build frontend Docker image via below command:
cd GenAIExamples/VisualQnA/ui
docker build --no-cache -t opea/visualqna-ui:latest --build-arg https_proxy=$https_proxy --build-arg http_proxy=$http_proxy -f docker/Dockerfile .
# vLLM
docker pull opea/vllm:latest
# TGI (Optional)
docker pull ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:2.4.0-intel-cpu
Then run the command docker images
, you will have the following Docker Images:
opea/vllm:latest
ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:2.4.0-intel-cpu
(Optional)opea/lvm:latest
opea/visualqna:latest
opea/visualqna-ui:latest
opea/nginx
Since the compose.yaml
will consume some environment variables, you need to setup them in advance as below.
source set_env.sh
Note: Please replace with host_ip
with you external IP address, do not use localhost.
Before running the docker compose command, you need to be in the folder that has the docker compose yaml file
cd GenAIExamples/VisualQnA/docker_compose/intel/cpu/xeon
docker compose -f compose.yaml up -d
# if use TGI as the LLM serving backend
docker compose -f compose_tgi.yaml up -d
Follow the instructions to validate MicroServices.
Note: If you see an "Internal Server Error" from the
curl
command, wait a few minutes for the microserver to be ready and then try again.

To access the frontend, open the following URL in your browser: http://{host_ip}:5173. By default, the UI runs on port 5173 internally. If you prefer to use a different host port to access the frontend, you can modify the port mapping in the compose.yaml
file as shown below:
visualqna-gaudi-ui-server:
image: opea/visualqna-ui:latest
...
ports:
- "80:5173"
