FastAPI-DLS

Minimal Delegated License Service (DLS).

This service can be used without internet connection. Only the clients need a connection to this service on configured port.

ToDo#'s

• provide .deb package (WIP)
• migrate from dataset to sqlalchemy (WIP)
• migrate from fastapi to flask
• Support http mode for using external https proxy

Endpoints

GET /

HTML rendered README.md.

GET /status

Status endpoint, used for healthcheck. Shows also current version and commit hash.

GET /docs

OpenAPI specifications rendered from GET /openapi.json.

GET /-/origins

List registered origins.

GET /-/leases

List current leases.

GET /client-token

Generate client token, (see installation).

Others

There are some more internal api endpoints for handling authentication and lease process.

Setup (Service)

Docker

Docker-Images are available here:

• Docker-Hub: collinwebdesigns/fastapi-dls:latest

Debian/Ubuntu (manual method using git clone)

Tested on Debian 11 (bullseye), Ubuntu may also work.

Install requirements

apt-get update && apt-get install git python3-venv python3-pip

Install FastAPI-DLS

WORKING_DIR=/opt/fastapi-dls

cd $WORKING_DIR
git clone https://git.collinwebdesigns.de/oscar.krause/fastapi-dls .
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
deactivate
chown -R www-data:www-data $WORKING_DIR

Create keypair and webserver certificate

WORKING_DIR=/opt/fastapi-dls/app/cert
mkdir $WORKING_DIR
cd $WORKING_DIR
# create instance private and public key for singing JWT's
openssl genrsa -out $WORKING_DIR/instance.private.pem 2048

Test Service

This is only to test whether the service starts successfully.

cd /opt/fastapi-dls/app
su - www-data -c "/opt/fastapi-dls/venv/bin/uvicorn main:app --app-dir=/opt/fastapi-dls/app"

Create config file

cat <<EOF > /etc/fastapi-dls/env

DLS_PORT=443
LEASE_EXPIRE_DAYS=90

Now you have to run systemctl daemon-reload. After that you can start service with systemctl start fastapi-dls.service.

Debian/Ubuntu (using dpkg)

Packages are available here:

• GitLab-Registry

Successful tested with:

• Debian 12 (Bookworm)
• Ubuntu 22.10 (Kinetic Kudu)

Run this on your server instance

apt-get update
FILENAME=/opt/fastapi-dls.deb
wget -O $FILENAME https://git.collinwebdesigns.de/oscar.krause/fastapi-dls/-/package_files/148/download
dpkg -i $FILENAME
apt-get install -f --fix-missing

Configuration

Variable	Default	Usage
DEBUG	false	Toggles fastapi debug mode
DLS_URL	localhost	Used in client-token to tell guest driver where dls instance is reachable
DLS_PORT	443	Used in client-token to tell guest driver where dls instance is reachable
LEASE_EXPIRE_DAYS	90	Lease time in days
DATABASE	sqlite:///db.sqlite	See official dataset docs
CORS_ORIGINS	https://{DLS_URL}	Sets Access-Control-Allow-Origin header (comma separated string)

Setup (Client)

The token file has to be copied! It's not enough to C&P file contents, because there can be special characters.

Successfully tested with this package versions:

• 14.3 (Linux-Host: 510.108.03, Linux-Guest: 510.108.03, Windows-Guest: 513.91)
• 14.4 (Linux-Host: 510.108.03, Linux-Guest: 510.108.03, Windows-Guest: 514.08)
• 15.0 (Linux-Host: 525.60.12, Linux-Guest: 525.60.13, Windows-Guest: 527.41)

Linux

curl --insecure -X GET https://<dls-hostname-or-ip>/client-token -o /etc/nvidia/ClientConfigToken/client_configuration_token.tok
service nvidia-gridd restart
nvidia-smi -q | grep "License"

Windows

Download file and place it into C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\vGPU Licensing\ClientConfigToken. Now restart NvContainerLocalSystem service.

Troubleshoot

Linux

Logs are available with journalctl -u nvidia-gridd -f.

Windows

Logs are available in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Nvidia\LoggingLog.NVDisplay.Container.exe.log.

Known Issues

Linux

Currently, there are no known issues.

Windows

Required cipher on Windows Guests (e.g. managed by domain controller with GPO)

It is required to enable SHA1 (TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA_P521) in windows cipher suite.

Multiple Display Container LS Instances

On Windows on some machines there are running two or more instances of NVIDIA Display Container LS. This causes a problem on licensing flow. As you can see in the logs below, there are two lines with NLS initialized, each prefixed with <1> and <2>. So it is possible, that daemon 1 fetches a valid license through dls-service, and daemon 2 only gets a valid local license.
