Docker always download models

[DavidGasku]

I'm following the exact commands, but every call to the container is downloading the models. Not sure why.

I still have to read up on docker. The file was made by some one, if you want to check it and see perhaps there is something in the docker setup where it doesn't check the /u2net directory?

[DavidGasku]

Thanks, I'll try to check it, maybe I can fix it. I'll let you know.

This only with docker?

I wonder if the docker id not checking the U2 net folder

You could try to mount the models to host machine. Then the models will be downloaded only once.

like: alias backgroundremover='docker run -it --rm -v "$(pwd):/tmp" -v /root/model:/root bgremover:latest'

[charles-large]

building on the previous comment, I was able to download and mount the model to prevent the container from downloading it every time.

Looking at the code, an environmental variable is first checked for the existance of a path to the model

I was already mounting a local volume into the container and just moved the model to my current directory before mounting. Downloaded model from here

My full command where I reference the path to my downloaded model in environmental variable. "U2NETP_PATH" would need to be changed to the model you are using. Reference code above.

docker run -it --rm -e U2NETP_PATH=/tmp/u2netp.pth -v ".:/tmp" bgremover:latest -i <inputFile> -o <outputFile> -m "u2netp"

It didn't save me a lot of time in processing speed, as the model sizes are pretty small to download and I have a decent internet speed, but the output no longer shows messages of having to download the model every time.
