You should see the lambda-stack image in the list, this is the one we will use for now.

To start a program in the a container using this image, use the docker run --rm command:

...

Add packages to the container

The container image may not have all the packages you need. To add more packages, you can create a new container image based on the LambdaStack one.

To create a container image, you need a Dockerfile definition file. It contains the information about the base container image and the installation instructions for the additional packages.

...

To build the corresponding container image, first create an empty folder and save the Dockerfile in it:

...

then use the docker build command to generate the new container image:

$ cd hugging_container
$ docker build -t pytorch-transformers .

The -t flag is used to tag the container image, making it easier to find and use it later.

...

You can now use it in place of the LambdaStack containerimage:

$ docker run --rm pytorch-transformers \
    python -c "from transformers import pipeline; print(pipeline('sentiment-analysis')('I love you'))"

Containers Container images can be deleted using the docker image rm command. For example, remove the pytorch-transformers container image as follows:

$ docker image rm pytorch-transformers
