BentoML

the default protocol for handling Image for Image IO descriptor is using pillow!

Right right, where would i need to include it in order for the container to include pillow? in the .yaml file or would i build the bento with bentoml[io-image]?

either will do! it will be easier to manage it in the `bentofile.yaml`

under
```python:
    packages:  # Additional pip packages required by the service
    - scikit-learn
    - pandas
    - pillow # here```

okay! I did try to put in in requirements.txt and it didnt work thats why im asking but ill give this a shot! Thank you so much

you can use requirements.txt but you have you ask the bentofile.yaml to refer to it.
```python:
    requirements_txt: "./path-to-it/requirements.txt"```

ahhhhhhh okay that makes sense yeah ill just put it in the yaml file lol

alright for real my last problem :sweat_smile: I have a index.json file that is in a folder in my service folder that gives a output with the prediction. Its not seeming to recognize it in the cloud push but works on the local server. How would I include that in the yaml file? This is what I currently got

`conda:`
  `channels:`
  `- conda-forge`
  `dependencies:`
  `- tensorflow`
  `- numpy`
  `- pillow`
  `- bentoml[io-image]`
  `E_index.json: ./content/E_index.json`
`service: "service:electrical_service"  # Same as the argument passed to bentoml`
`labels:`
  `owner: Josh`
  `stage: production`
`include:`
  `- "*.py"  # A pattern for matching which files to include in the bento`

and do you think the content folder would need a _init_.py?

nvm i got it i just put -"*.json" under include

Hey Jian, I got everything up and functioning as expected but when trying to test it on postman im getting a 504 gateway. Do you know what the key would be when making the post request for a image?

if you visit the service homepage under `Try it out` you would get an example of how you send the curl request!

Resolved! Thank you so much Jian you've been fantastic
