FastAPI-DLS

Minimal Delegated License Service (DLS).

Endpoints

GET /

Just a simple hello world endpoint.

GET /status

Status endpoint, used for healthcheck.

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 (Docker)

Run this on the Docker-Host

WORKING_DIR=/opt/docker/fastapi-dls/cert
mkdir -p $WORKING_DIR
cd $WORKING_DIR
# create instance private and public key for singing JWT's
openssl genrsa -out $WORKING_DIR/instance.private.pem 2048 
openssl rsa -in $WORKING_DIR/instance.private.pem -outform PEM -pubout -out $WORKING_DIR/instance.public.pem
# create ssl certificate for integrated webserver (uvicorn) - because clients rely on ssl
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 3650 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout  $WORKING_DIR/webserver.key -out $WORKING_DIR/webserver.crt

Start container

docker volume create dls-db
docker run -e DLS_URL=`hostname -i` -e DLS_PORT=443 -p 443:443 -v $WORKING_DIR:/app/cert -v dls-db:/app/database collinwebdesigns/fastapi-dls:latest

Configuration

Variable	Default	Usage
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

Installation

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

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

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.
