Dockerized environment to run splade

[shikharsrivastava]

Can you please provide a Dockerfile to run splade? The conda env has dependencies on binaries built against nvidia-cuda for linux platform. I cannot build it for non-cuda linux and osx. I tried replacing those dependencies with their replacement built for usage with cpu, however, still did not manage to make it work.

A Dockerfile should allow users to use splade more easily across platforms.

Hi @shikharsrivastava sorry for the delay on answering this, but the main problem for us is a technical one: No one on the team is actually familiar with working with docker. Maybe someone in the community could help getting this out?

+1, I have spent a few hours trying to run this on my m1 arm macos mac. Still haven't got it to work yet

I am struggling to get this to run on colab too

I got the python notebook working on my m1.

For future people: Remove the following from conda_spade_env.yml

• all non-pip dependencies
• nmslib==2.1.1
• onnxruntime==1.11.1
• tbb==2021.6.0
• tbb-devel==2021.6.0

Bump the version

• psutil==5.9.4

Add the pip packages the env

• spacy-transformers
• pip

Add the dependency

• python==3.9

For @cadurosar, would you be open to an MR to update the readme and include an m1 friendly conda env?

For sure, this would also help me test on my machine.
