Developer Guide: Assemble a Llama Stack Distribution
NOTE: This doc may be out-of-date.
This guide will walk you through the steps to get started with building a Llama Stack distributiom from scratch with your choice of API providers. Please see the Getting Started Guide if you just want the basic steps to start a Llama Stack distribution.
Step 1. Build
In the following steps, imagine we'll be working with a Meta-Llama3.1-8B-Instruct
model. We will name our build 8b-instruct
to help us remember the config. We will start build our distribution (in the form of a Conda environment, or Docker image). In this step, we will specify:
name
: the name for our distribution (e.g.8b-instruct
)image_type
: our build image type (conda | docker
)distribution_spec
: our distribution specs for specifying API providersdescription
: a short description of the configurations for the distributionproviders
: specifies the underlying implementation for serving each API endpointimage_type
:conda
|docker
to specify whether to build the distribution in the form of Docker image or Conda environment.
At the end of build command, we will generate <name>-build.yaml
file storing the build configurations.
After this step is complete, a file named <name>-build.yaml
will be generated and saved at the output file path specified at the end of the command.
Building from scratch
- For a new user, we could start off with running
llama stack build
which will allow you to a interactively enter wizard where you will be prompted to enter build configurations.
llama stack build
Running the command above will allow you to fill in the configuration to build your Llama Stack distribution, you will see the following outputs.
> Enter an unique name for identifying your Llama Stack build distribution (e.g. my-local-stack): 8b-instruct
> Enter the image type you want your distribution to be built with (docker or conda): conda
Llama Stack is composed of several APIs working together. Let's configure the providers (implementations) you want to use for these APIs.
> Enter the API provider for the inference API: (default=meta-reference): meta-reference
> Enter the API provider for the safety API: (default=meta-reference): meta-reference
> Enter the API provider for the agents API: (default=meta-reference): meta-reference
> Enter the API provider for the memory API: (default=meta-reference): meta-reference
> Enter the API provider for the telemetry API: (default=meta-reference): meta-reference
> (Optional) Enter a short description for your Llama Stack distribution:
Build spec configuration saved at ~/.conda/envs/llamastack-my-local-llama-stack/8b-instruct-build.yaml
Ollama (optional)
If you plan to use Ollama for inference, you'll need to install the server via these instructions.
Building from templates
- To build from alternative API providers, we provide distribution templates for users to get started building a distribution backed by different providers.
The following command will allow you to see the available templates and their corresponding providers.
llama stack build --list-templates

You may then pick a template to build your distribution with providers fitted to your liking.
llama stack build --template tgi
$ llama stack build --template tgi
...
...
Build spec configuration saved at ~/.conda/envs/llamastack-tgi/tgi-build.yaml
You may now run `llama stack configure tgi` or `llama stack configure ~/.conda/envs/llamastack-tgi/tgi-build.yaml`
Building from config file
-
In addition to templates, you may customize the build to your liking through editing config files and build from config files with the following command.
-
The config file will be of contents like the ones in
llama_stack/distributions/templates/
.
$ cat llama_stack/templates/ollama/build.yaml
name: ollama
distribution_spec:
description: Like local, but use ollama for running LLM inference
providers:
inference: remote::ollama
memory: meta-reference
safety: meta-reference
agents: meta-reference
telemetry: meta-reference
image_type: conda
llama stack build --config llama_stack/templates/ollama/build.yaml
How to build distribution with Docker image
Tip
Podman is supported as an alternative to Docker. Set
DOCKER_BINARY
topodman
in your environment to use Podman.
To build a docker image, you may start off from a template and use the --image-type docker
flag to specify docker
as the build image type.
llama stack build --template local --image-type docker
Alternatively, you may use a config file and set image_type
to docker
in our <name>-build.yaml
file, and run llama stack build <name>-build.yaml
. The <name>-build.yaml
will be of contents like:
name: local-docker-example
distribution_spec:
description: Use code from `llama_stack` itself to serve all llama stack APIs
docker_image: null
providers:
inference: meta-reference
memory: meta-reference-faiss
safety: meta-reference
agentic_system: meta-reference
telemetry: console
image_type: docker
The following command allows you to build a Docker image with the name <name>
llama stack build --config <name>-build.yaml
Dockerfile created successfully in /tmp/tmp.I0ifS2c46A/DockerfileFROM python:3.10-slim
WORKDIR /app
...
...
You can run it with: podman run -p 8000:8000 llamastack-docker-local
Build spec configuration saved at ~/.llama/distributions/docker/docker-local-build.yaml
Step 2. Configure
After our distribution is built (either in form of docker or conda environment), we will run the following command to
llama stack configure [ <docker-image-name> | <path/to/name.build.yaml>]
- For
conda
environments: <path/to/name.build.yaml> would be the generated build spec saved from Step 1. - For
docker
images downloaded from Dockerhub, you could also use as the argument.- Run
docker images
to check list of available images on your machine.
- Run
$ llama stack configure tgi

YAML configuration has been written to ~/.llama/builds/conda/tgi-run.yaml
After this step is successful, you should be able to find a run configuration spec in ~/.llama/builds/conda/tgi-run.yaml
with the following contents. You may edit this file to change the settings.
As you can see, we did basic configuration above and configured:
- inference to run on model
Meta-Llama3.1-8B-Instruct
(obtained fromllama model list
) - Llama Guard safety shield with model
Llama-Guard-3-1B
- Prompt Guard safety shield with model
Prompt-Guard-86M
For how these configurations are stored as yaml, checkout the file printed at the end of the configuration.
Note that all configurations as well as models are stored in ~/.llama
Step 3. Run
Now, let's start the Llama Stack Distribution Server. You will need the YAML configuration file which was written out at the end by the llama stack configure
step.
llama stack run 8b-instruct
You should see the Llama Stack server start and print the APIs that it is supporting
$ llama stack run 8b-instruct
> initializing model parallel with size 1
> initializing ddp with size 1
> initializing pipeline with size 1

. Feel free to increasemax_seq_len
.
Important
The "local" distribution inference server currently only supports CUDA. It will not work on Apple Silicon machines.
Tip
You might need to use the flag
--disable-ipv6
to Disable IPv6 support
This server is running a Llama model locally.
