Custom YOLOv8 Model

[john-]

Thanks for all the great work on this software.

I was able to get Codeproject.AI-Server with by custom YOLOv8 model. I ran across this document which got me the insights I needed.

I modified it for docker compose:

[snip]
    volumes:
      - codeproject_ai_data:/etc/codeproject/ai
      - codeproject_ai_modules:/app/modules
      - type: bind
        source: codeproject_ai_custom_models
        target: /app/modules/ObjectDetectionYOLOv8/custom-models
volumes:
  codeproject_ai_data:
  codeproject_ai_modules:
  codeproject_ai_custom_models:

Note: The docs reference a generic ObjectDetectionYolo directory in the bind mount directive. After installing the YOLOv8 module it appeared as ObjectDetectionYOLOv8.

It seems like I needed to have the codeproject_ai_custom_models as a bind mount for the container to see the contents on the host. I placed my model in that directory and after a restart was able to see (and use) the model in Codeproject.AI Explorer.

I see there is work on YOLOv11 in progress and hopefully we can do the same custom model with that as we can with v8!
