Foundry Offline Installation Bugs #275
Description
Context: Working on Edge deployments - no connectivity, including access to internet for install on target PCs.
Previous v0.6 worked well for disconnected installation, manual installer, manual copy of models into cache, run cache list and models appeared 0- able to run models and connect services
Recent 0.07 updates has included an internet dependency after install (to pull back the model catalogue?) - this means it cannot progress unless there's a connection to fetch the model catalogue. Work around is to connect once to internet for initial model list, and then seems to restore functionality but still throws up alot of errors when trying to check the cache - but does not meet the requirement of disconnected capability.
Request - Can you consider offline installation and running support? Either a manual catalogue transfer or if internet is not detected, it can still retrieve whats in cache?
Why its important - for some edge use cases in high security domains there's no ability to connect hardware to internet even once, and particularly not for regular updates etc. So being able to offline install, run, update would be a massive enabler.
Or if something I'm missing - grateful for advice!
