Tensorflow Serving: no versions of servable half_plus_two found under base path /models - tensorflow

Question

I'm doing Tensorflow Serving with Docker (see here for docs). Server runs on our infra here. I've succeeded at requesting my model when the command to run the container is something like:
tensorflow_model_server --port=8500 --rest_api_port=8501 \
--model_name=${MODEL_NAME} --model_base_path=${MODEL_BASE_PATH}/${MODEL_NAME}
A curl request to the server returns the expected answer. Problem occurs when I try to use the model_config_file parameter. Command:
tensorflow_model_server --port=8500 --rest_api_port=8501 \
--model_config_file=/serving/models.conf
Config file is:
model_config_list: {
config: {
name: "half_plus_two",
base_path: "/models/",
model_platform: "tensorflow"
}
}
When I run the container with this command, I get the error:
No versions of servable half_plus_two found under base path /models/
(I've also tried to remove the trailing backslash on the base_path with no more success). I've seen this post on SO that reminds us to use a version under model dir and I have one. My /models dir is:
models
|
- half_plus_two
|
- 1
|
- saved_model.pb
- variables
- assets
Someone can help?

Had the same thing on Windows 10. I finally:
Noticed that I forgot to clone the tensorflow/serving repository to my local machine
Ran on Ubuntu-wsl-2 console, as using Windows command line, I could convince docker to correctly map the container's /models/half_plus_two to my local path (the -v option in the following command):
docker run -t --rm -p 8501:8501
-v "$TESTDATA/saved_model_half_plus_two_cpu:/models/half_plus_two"
-e MODEL_NAME=half_plus_two
