ZenML INVALID_DOCKER_IMAGE error encountered when running ZenML pipelines.

The Docker image specified is invalid or not found in the Docker registry.

Understanding ZenML: A Brief Overview

ZenML is an extensible, open-source MLOps framework designed to create reproducible machine learning pipelines. It provides a structured way to manage the lifecycle of ML models, from experimentation to deployment, ensuring consistency and efficiency. ZenML integrates seamlessly with popular ML tools and platforms, making it a versatile choice for data scientists and ML engineers.

Identifying the Symptom: INVALID_DOCKER_IMAGE Error

When working with ZenML, you might encounter the INVALID_DOCKER_IMAGE error. This error typically surfaces when attempting to run a pipeline that relies on a specific Docker image. The error message indicates that the specified Docker image is either invalid or not found, halting the pipeline execution.

Delving into the Issue: What Causes INVALID_DOCKER_IMAGE?

The INVALID_DOCKER_IMAGE error occurs when ZenML is unable to locate or validate the Docker image required for a pipeline step. This can happen due to several reasons, such as a typo in the image name, the image not being pushed to the Docker registry, or network issues preventing access to the registry.

Common Scenarios Leading to the Error

  • Incorrect Docker image name or tag specified in the pipeline configuration.
  • The Docker image has not been built or pushed to the registry.
  • Network connectivity issues with the Docker registry.

Resolving the Issue: Steps to Fix INVALID_DOCKER_IMAGE

To resolve the INVALID_DOCKER_IMAGE error, follow these steps:

Step 1: Verify the Docker Image Name and Tag

Ensure that the Docker image name and tag specified in your ZenML pipeline configuration are correct. Double-check for typos or incorrect tags. You can list available images using the following command:

docker images

Step 2: Build and Push the Docker Image

If the image is not available in the registry, you need to build and push it. Use the following commands to build and push your Docker image:

docker build -t your-image-name:tag .
docker push your-image-name:tag

Ensure that you are logged into the Docker registry where you intend to push the image. For more details, refer to the Docker push documentation.

Step 3: Check Network Connectivity

Ensure that your network settings allow access to the Docker registry. You can test connectivity by pulling a known image:

docker pull hello-world

If this command fails, investigate your network settings or contact your network administrator.
