+#### 2. prepare the preprocessing backend
+We can use either python backend or cpp backend for preprocessing in the server side.  
+Firstly, we pull the docker image, and start a serving container:  
 ```
-$ docker pull nvcr.io/nvidia/tritonserver:21.10-py3
-$ docker run --gpus all --rm -p8000:8000 -p8001:8001 -p8002:8002 -v /path/to/BiSeNet/tis/models:/models nvcr.io/nvidia/tritonserver:21.10-py3 tritonserver --model-repository=/models
+$ docker pull nvcr.io/nvidia/tritonserver:22.07-py3
+$ docker run -it --gpus all --rm -p8000:8000 -p8001:8001 -p8002:8002 -v /path/to/BiSeNet/tis/models:/models -v /path/to/BiSeNet/:/BiSeNet nvcr.io/nvidia/tritonserver:21.10-py3 bash
 ```
+From here on, we are in the container environment. Let's prepare the backends in the container:  
+```
+# ln -s /usr/local/bin/pip3.8 /usr/bin/pip3.8
+# /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install pillow
+# apt update && apt install rapidjson-dev libopencv-dev
+```
+Then we download cmake 3.22 and unzip in the container, we use this cmake 3.22 in the following operations.  
+We compile c++ backends:   
+```
+# cp -riv /BiSeNet/tis/self_backend /opt/tritonserver/backends
+# chmod 777 /opt/tritonserver/backends/self_backend
+# cd /opt/tritonserver/backends/self_backend
+# mkdir -p build && cd build
+# cmake .. && make -j4
+# mv -iuv libtriton_self_backend.so ..
+```
+Utils now, we should have backends prepared.
+
 
+
+#### 3. start service
+We start the server in the docker container, following the above steps:  
+```
+# tritonserver --model-repository=/models 
+```
 In general, the service would start now. You can check whether service has started by:  
 ```
