How to disable dashboard in serve run?

Ray Serve

How severe does this issue affect your experience of using Ray?

  • Low: It annoys or frustrates me for a moment.

I’m hosting a ML API service (integrated with FastAPI) on a single node with ray serve using serve run config.yaml command. It automatically comes with a dashboard which I don’t need. Is there a way to disable it? There’s no documentation about how to disable that when serving with serve run here: Configuring and Managing Ray Dashboard — Ray 2.8.1.

I’m simply trying to reduce CPU load as much as possible on the hosted API server.

Thanks!

Yes! It’s in the exact doc you linked. Simply run

ray start --include-dashboard=False

# or if running locally
ray start --include-dashboard=False --head

before running the serve run command will prevent dashboard from starting
