@robbierafay - Currently, we have no plans to offer containers. The model is that partners take the code and build containers from it.

In terms of the above, we will update the documentation. Thanks for filing the issue.

Please refer to https://github.com/NVIDIA/bare-metal-manager-rest/blob/main/Makefile for building bare-metal-manager rest image.

Hi @vigviswa,
Thanks for updating the docs—they are very helpful. We are deploying the site-controller (both CORE and REST). Is it required to build the DPU BFB image for this setup?

If yes, as mentioned in building_bmm_containers.md:
"To download the required HBN container, you must have access to the PID Library."

In that case, we would need access to apps.nvidia.com to download it. Could you please guide us on how we can get access, or if there is another way to obtain this package?

@meet-andani-rafay That documentation should have been updated so that access to the PID Library is no longer necessary.
