Alternative deployment options for offline environments
The following methods can be used when you cannot access Hugging Face:
- Model pre-download:
Download the full model using huggingface-cli on a device with a network:
huggingface-cli download TheAhmadOsman/FLUX.1-Kontext-dev –local-dir ./models
Packaging and porting the entire mods catalog to the target device - Dockerized deployment:
Use a pre-built image that already contains the model (you need to build it yourself):
FROM python:3.12
COPY models /app/models
Setting environment variables:
HF_HUB_OFFLINE=1 - Local model registration:
Modify the model loading path in the code:
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(‘./local/models’) - Corporate Agency Program:
If you need to use it on an isolated network, you can set up a local HF mirror server:
Deploying Text Generation WebUI as a model staging area
Important note: It is necessary to ensure the integrity check of the model file, and the SHAd256 value should be the same as the official published one when used offline.
