Pass a local image in a deployed mode.

[alkhawli]

I am not being able to pass a local image using curl, I tried to edit the data to the following:

{
"input": {
"image": "C:/../../input.jpg"
},
"output_file_prefix": "."
}

But unfortunately it didnt work, I am getting

"msg": "'c' is not a valid URL scheme. 'data', 'http', or 'https' is supported.",

This doesn't work yet unfortunately. I've filed a ticket for it here: #693

You can pass files with the command line like this:

cog predict -i image=@C:/../../input.jpg

Why are you using the API rather than the CLI, out of interest? Are you integrating it with an application?

Thanks @bfirsh . The cog predict works great. I just got stuck in the deployment testing. I was able to run the docker image and expose it to the localhost. The last step is to test the curl post and provide an image that is saved locally.

I am checking the possibility of deploying this to an industrial edge device that is connected to a camera and serve the model using the API.

Same here. If the command line supports the local file, why not the docker?

Has this been fixed as of now? Running into the same problem when trying to send a local file path, that the docker can access, to the API.

curl http://localhost:5001/predictions -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"input": {"video_path": "/data/Projects/example.mp4"}}'
