Model Repository in Action
File-system-based repository with model artifacts and config.pbtxt
Example configuration for YOLO11:
name: "yolo11"
platform: "onnxruntime_onnx"
max_batch_size: 4
input [{ name: "images", data_type: TYPE_FP32, dims: [3, 640, 640] }]
output [{ name: "output", data_type: TYPE_FP32, dims: [1, 8400, 85] }]
Simple configuration enables rapid model deployment
Supports versioning for seamless updates

Getting Started
Steps:
i. Install Docker and NVIDIA Container Toolkit
ii. Pull Triton container: docker pull nvcr.io/nvidia/tritonserver:25.05-py3
iii. Set up model repository
iv. Run Triton: docker run --gpus all -v /path/to/models:/models ...
Test with Python Client:
import tritonclient.http as httpclient
client = httpclient.InferenceServerClient(url="localhost:8000")
inputs = httpclient.InferInput("images", [1, 3, 640, 640], "FP32")
results = client.infer(model_name="yolo11", inputs=[inputs])
Quick setup with Docker simplifies deployment
