This container image provides a self-contained IBM Granite AI model server for the ARNIE AI infrastructure operator. It bundles the Granite 3.1 Dense (8B) model together with the Ollama inference engine on a Red Hat Universal Base Image, so the model runs locally with no external dependencies or runtime downloads. Because inference happens entirely within the deployment environment, no data leaves the customer's infrastructure — making it suitable for security-conscious and air-gapped deployments. The image runs as a non-root user and exposes the model API on port 11434 for use by the ARNIE AI operator. A BLCKBX product.
The following information was extracted from the dockerfile and other sources.

Pull the image:
podman pull docker.io/brandonjuimperbinvictus/arnie-ai-granite:1.0.0
Run the container:
podman run -d --name arnie-granite -p 11434:11434 docker.io/brandonjuimperbinvictus/arnie-ai-granite:1.0.0
The IBM Granite model (granite3.1-dense:8b) is bundled in the image and served locally via Ollama on port 11434. No additional model download is required.
Verify the model is available:
curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags
The ARNIE AI operator connects to this endpoint for local, self-hosted inference. The container runs as a non-root user and is suitable for deployment on Red Hat OpenShift or standalone container hosts.
