In this blog post, we will setup an AI Model Store using Harbor, which will allow us to download Hugging Face models and upload that to our private Harbor registry for use with VMware for Private AI Services (PAIS).

Requirements:

• VM to install Harbor or an existing Harbor instance
• Docker Client installed on your local desktop
• Hugging Face CLI installed on your local desktop (Refer to the official documentation for installation steps)
• VCF CLI installed on your local desktop (Refer to the official documentation for installation steps)

In this blog post, we will walk through the configuration of an Identity Provider (IdP) and create an OIDC Public Application Client, which will be used to grant access to a PAIS deployment. As of this blog post, the instructions for setting up the required IdP will be based on Authentik (which I have blogged about before), which is a free and self-hosted IdP solution.

Note: I am also looking to get this working using Keycloak, but currently I am still debugging some issues, so will provide an updated blog post once I can also use Keycloak as an IdP for PAIS.

Requirements:

• DNS entry for IdP (e.g. auth2.vcf.lab)
• DNS placeholder entry for the PAIS deployment instance (e.g. pais.vcf.lab)
• vSphere environment to deploy the IdP
