Haystack is an end-to-end framework that enables you to build powerful and production-ready
pipelines for different search use cases. The Docker image comes with a web service
configured to serve Haystack's `rest_api` to ease pipelines' deployments in containerized

## Image variants
## Image Variants
The Docker image comes in two variants:
- `haystack:cpu-<version>`: this image is smaller but doesn't support GPU
- `haystack:gpu-<version>`: this image comes with the Cuda runtime and is capable of running on GPUs
The Docker image comes in four variants:
- `haystack:gpu-<version>` contains Haystack dependencies as well as what's needed to run the REST API and UI. It comes with the CUDA runtime and is capable of running on GPUs.
- `haystack:cpu-<version>` contains Haystack dependencies as well as what's needed to run the REST API and UI. It has no support for GPU so must be run on CPU.
- `haystack:base-gpu-<version>` only contains the Haystack dependencies. It comes with the CUDA runtime and is capable of running on GPUs.
- `haystack:base-cpu-<version>` only contains the Haystack dependencies. It has no support for GPU so must be run on CPU.
## Image development
## Image Development
Images are built with BuildKit and we use `bake` to orchestrate the process.
You can build a specific image by simply run:
You can build a specific image by running:
```sh
docker buildx bake gpu
```
You can override any `variable` defined in the `docker-bake.hcl` file and build custom
images, for example if you want to use a branch from the Haystack repo:

### A note about multi-platform builds
### Multi-Platform Builds
Haystack images support multiple architectures. But depending on your operating system and Docker
environment, you might not be able to build all of them locally.
You may encounter the following error when trying to build the image:
Haystack images support multiple architectures, but depending on your operating system and Docker
environment you might not be able to build all of them locally. If you get an error like:
```
multiple platforms feature is currently not supported for docker driver. Please switch to a different driver
(eg. “docker buildx create --use”)
```
you might need to override the `platform` option and limit local builds to the same architecture as
To get around this, you need to override the `platform` option and limit local builds to the same architecture as
your computer's. For example, on an Apple M1 you can limit the builds to ARM only by invoking `bake` like this:
```sh
docker buildx bake base-cpu --set "*.platform=linux/arm64"
```
