Bug: BentoML config file specification in bentofile.yaml causes filenotfound error when using it containerised

[hugocool]

There is an issue in the specification of the bentofile.yaml file, specifically in the docker section where the env entry is defined. When the BENTOML_CONFIG environment variable is specified in the env entry, the BentoML service fails to start in a Docker container.

Steps to reproduce: git clone this repo, keep the bentofile.yml as is (so the BENTOML_CONFIG environment variable in the env entry of the bentofile.yaml file is defined as /.config/default.yaml Build and containerize the BentoML service using the bentoml build and bentoml containerize commands.

ECR_REPO=...
TAG=latest
SERVICE_NAME=transformers-nlp-service-gpu

bentoml build && bentoml containerize "${SERVICE_NAME}" -t "${ECR_REPO}:${TAG}"

Run the Docker container using the docker run command.

docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 "${ECR_REPO}:${TAG}"

Expected behavior:

The BentoML service should start in the Docker container without any issues.

Actual behavior:

The BentoML service fails to start in the Docker container and the following error message is displayed:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/bentoml", line 5, in from bentoml_cli.cli import cli File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/bentoml_cli/cli.py", line 57, in cli = create_bentoml_cli() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/bentoml_cli/cli.py", line 20, in create_bentoml_cli from bentoml._internal.context import component_context File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/bentoml/init.py", line 25, in load_config() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/bentoml/_internal/configuration/init.py", line 143, in load_config raise FileNotFoundError( FileNotFoundError: BentoML config file specified in ENV VAR not found: 'BENTOML_CONFIG=./config/default.yaml'

Proposed solution: Update the bentofile.yaml file to remove the env entry and provide instructions on how to set the BENTOML_CONFIG environment variable when running the Docker container.
