Starting a Llama Stack Server
You can run a Llama Stack server in one of the following ways:
As a Library:
This is the simplest way to get started. Using Llama Stack as a library means you do not need to start a server. This is especially useful when you are not running inference locally and relying on an external inference service (eg. fireworks, together, groq, etc.) See Using Llama Stack as a Library
Container:
Another simple way to start interacting with Llama Stack is to just spin up a container (via Docker or Podman) which is pre-built with all the providers you need. We provide a number of pre-built images so you can start a Llama Stack server instantly. You can also build your own custom container. Which distribution to choose depends on the hardware you have. See Selection of a Distribution for more details.
Kubernetes:
If you have built a container image and want to deploy it in a Kubernetes cluster instead of starting the Llama Stack server locally. See Kubernetes Deployment Guide for more details.
