LocalAI [bot] 97175f4b5a feat(model): debounce model loads after a failure to stop retry-storms (#10728)
A client that keeps polling a model whose load fails (e.g. a backend that
crashes deterministically on init) triggered a fresh backend start on
every request: request -> load -> crash in ~10s -> 500, repeat on the
next poll. Each attempt could leak GPU/CUDA state, and under
LOCALAI_SINGLE_ACTIVE_BACKEND it kept stealing the active slot from
healthy models. The existing loading-coalesce map only dedups
*concurrent* loads, so sequential polls were never covered.

Track load failures per modelID in ModelLoader. After a load fails,
refuse fresh load triggers for that model until a cooldown elapses,
returning a typed ModelLoadCooldownError that the HTTP layer maps to 503
with a Retry-After header. The cooldown grows exponentially per
consecutive failure (base, doubling, capped at 5m) and resets on a
successful load. The coalesced follower-retry of an in-flight burst
bypasses the gate, so a genuinely concurrent burst still gets its one
retry -- only new, independent triggers are refused, matching the
report's "refuse new load-triggers" wording.

Configurable via --model-load-failure-cooldown /
LOCALAI_MODEL_LOAD_FAILURE_COOLDOWN (default 10s, 0 disables), plumbed
through ApplicationConfig and applied unconditionally at startup.

Closes #10719

Requirement

In this project, the Docsy theme component is pulled in as a Hugo module, together with other module dependencies:

$ hugo mod graph

If you want to do SCSS edits and want to publish these, you need to install PostCSS

npm install

Running the website locally

Building and running the site locally requires a recent extended version of Hugo. You can find out more about how to install Hugo for your environment in our Getting started guide.

Once you've made your working copy of the site repo, from the repo root folder, run:

hugo server

Running a container locally

You can run docsy-example inside a Docker container, the container runs with a volume bound to the docsy-example folder. This approach doesn't require you to install any dependencies other than Docker Desktop on Windows and Mac, and Docker Compose on Linux.

  1. Build the docker image

    docker-compose build
    
  2. Run the built image

    docker-compose up
    

    NOTE: You can run both commands at once with docker-compose up --build.

  3. Verify that the service is working.

    Open your web browser and type http://localhost:1313 in your navigation bar, This opens a local instance of the docsy-example homepage. You can now make changes to the docsy example and those changes will immediately show up in your browser after you save.

Cleanup

To stop Docker Compose, on your terminal window, press Ctrl + C.

To remove the produced images run:

docker-compose rm

For more information see the Docker Compose documentation.

Troubleshooting

As you run the website locally, you may run into the following error:

➜ hugo server

INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 Using config file: 
Building sites … INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 syncing static files to /

Error: Error building site: TOCSS: failed to transform "scss/main.scss" (text/x-scss): resource "scss/scss/main.scss_9fadf33d895a46083cdd64396b57ef68" not found in file cache

This error occurs if you have not installed the extended version of Hugo. See this section of the user guide for instructions on how to install Hugo.

Or you may encounter the following error:

➜ hugo server

Error: failed to download modules: binary with name "go" not found

This error occurs if you have not installed the go programming language on your system. See this section of the user guide for instructions on how to install go.
