It is work, when I run the sample config of kuberay as following file:

[https://github.com/ray-project/kuberay/blob/release-0.5/ray-operator/config/samples/ray\_v1alpha1\_rayservice.yaml](https://github.com/ray-project/kuberay/blob/release-0.5/ray-operator/config/samples/ray_v1alpha1_rayservice.yaml)

But when I change the value of **working\_dir** to a local file path (the file is download by above link):

```auto
working_dir: "file:///home/k8s/lin-test-ray/test_dag-41d09119cbdf8450599f993f51318e9e27c59098.zip"
or
working_dir: "file:/home/k8s/lin-test-ray/test_dag-41d09119cbdf8450599f993f51318e9e27c59098.zip"

```

The service has something wrong, and output of **kubectl describe** are:

```auto

```

What Happen? Can I use the local zip file?  
Thank you very much!

I solved the problem as:

1. mount the zip file to all containers;

2. the value format of working\_dir is

```auto
working_dir: "file:///tmp/data/test_model.zip"

```
