After that you can start service with `systemctl start fastapi-dls.service` and enable autostart with `systemctl enable fastapi-dls.service`. ## openSUSE Leap (manual method using `git clone` and python virtual environment) Tested on `openSUSE Leap 15.4`, openSUSE Tumbleweed may also work. **Install requirements** ```shell zypper in -y python310 python3-virtualenv python3-pip ``` **Install FastAPI-DLS** ```shell BASE_DIR=/opt/fastapi-dls SERVICE_USER=dls mkdir -p ${BASE_DIR} cd ${BASE_DIR} git clone https://git.collinwebdesigns.de/oscar.krause/fastapi-dls . python3.10 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt deactivate useradd -r ${SERVICE_USER} -M -d /opt/fastapi-dls chown -R ${SERVICE_USER} ${BASE_DIR} ``` **Create keypair and webserver certificate** ```shell CERT_DIR=${BASE_DIR}/app/cert SERVICE_USER=dls mkdir ${CERT_DIR} cd ${CERT_DIR} # create instance private and public key for singing JWT's openssl genrsa -out ${CERT_DIR}/instance.private.pem 2048 openssl rsa -in ${CERT_DIR}/instance.private.pem -outform PEM -pubout -out ${CERT_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 ${CERT_DIR}/webserver.key -out ${CERT_DIR}/webserver.crt chown -R ${SERVICE_USER} ${CERT_DIR} ``` **Test Service** This is only to test whether the service starts successfully. ```shell BASE_DIR=/opt/fastapi-dls SERVICE_USER=dls cd ${BASE_DIR} sudo -u ${SERVICE_USER} ${BASE_DIR}/venv/bin/uvicorn main:app --app-dir=${BASE_DIR}/app # or su - ${SERVICE_USER} -c "${BASE_DIR}/venv/bin/uvicorn main:app --app-dir=${BASE_DIR}/app" ``` **Create config file** > Adjust `DLS_URL` as needed (accessing from LAN won't work with 127.0.0.1) ```shell BASE_DIR=/opt/fastapi-dls cat </etc/fastapi-dls/env DLS_URL=127.0.0.1 DLS_PORT=443 LEASE_EXPIRE_DAYS=90 DATABASE=sqlite:///${BASE_DIR}/app/db.sqlite EOF ``` **Create service** ```shell BASE_DIR=/opt/fastapi-dls SERVICE_USER=dls cat </etc/systemd/system/fastapi-dls.service [Unit] Description=Service for fastapi-dls vGPU licensing service After=network.target [Service] User=${SERVICE_USER} AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE WorkingDirectory=${BASE_DIR}/app EnvironmentFile=/etc/fastapi-dls/env ExecStart=${BASE_DIR}/venv/bin/uvicorn main:app \\ --env-file /etc/fastapi-dls/env \\ --host \$DLS_URL --port \$DLS_PORT \\ --app-dir ${BASE_DIR}/app \\ --ssl-keyfile ${BASE_DIR}/app/cert/webserver.key \\ --ssl-certfile ${BASE_DIR}/app/cert/webserver.crt \\ --proxy-headers Restart=always KillSignal=SIGQUIT Type=simple NotifyAccess=all [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target EOF ``` Now you have to run `systemctl daemon-reload`. After that you can start service with `systemctl start fastapi-dls.service` and enable autostart with `systemctl enable fastapi-dls.service`. ## Debian / Ubuntu (using `dpkg` / `apt`) Packages are available here: - [GitLab-Registry](https://git.collinwebdesigns.de/oscar.krause/fastapi-dls/-/packages) Successful tested with: - **Debian 12 (Bookworm)** (EOL: June 06, 2026) - *Ubuntu 22.10 (Kinetic Kudu)* (EOL: July 20, 2023) - *Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster)* (EOL: January 2024) - *Ubuntu 23.10 (Mantic Minotaur)* (EOL: July 2024) - **Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat)** (EOL: April 2036) - *Ubuntu 24.10 (Oracular Oriole)* (EOL: tba.) Not working with: - Debian 11 (Bullseye) and lower (missing `python-jose` dependency) - Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) (not supported as for 15.01.2023 due to [fastapi - uvicorn version missmatch](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fastapi/+bug/1970557)) **Run this on your server instance** First go to [GitLab-Registry](https://git.collinwebdesigns.de/oscar.krause/fastapi-dls/-/packages) and select your version. Then you have to copy the download link of the `fastapi-dls_X.Y.Z_amd64.deb` asset. ```shell apt-get update FILENAME=/opt/fastapi-dls.deb wget -O $FILENAME dpkg -i $FILENAME apt-get install -f --fix-missing ``` Start with `systemctl start fastapi-dls.service` and enable autostart with `systemctl enable fastapi-dls.service`. Now you have to edit `/etc/fastapi-dls/env` as needed. ## ArchLinux (using `pacman`) **Shout out to `samicrusader` who created build file for ArchLinux!** Packages are available here: - [GitLab-Registry](https://git.collinwebdesigns.de/oscar.krause/fastapi-dls/-/packages) ```shell pacman -Sy FILENAME=/opt/fastapi-dls.pkg.tar.zst curl -o $FILENAME # or wget -O $FILENAME pacman -U --noconfirm fastapi-dls.pkg.tar.zst ``` Start with `systemctl start fastapi-dls.service` and enable autostart with `systemctl enable fastapi-dls.service`. Now you have to edit `/etc/default/fastapi-dls` as needed. ## unRAID 1. Download [this xml file](.UNRAID/FastAPI-DLS.xml) 2. Put it in /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user/ 3. Go to Docker page, scroll down to `Add Container`, click on Template list and choose `FastAPI-DLS` 4. Open terminal/ssh, follow the instructions in overview description 5. Setup your container `IP`, `Port`, `DLS_URL` and `DLS_PORT` 6. Apply and let it boot up *Unraid users must also make sure they have Host access to custom networks enabled if unraid is the vgpu guest*. Continue [here](#unraid-guest) for docker guest setup. ## NixOS Tanks to [@mrzenc](https://github.com/mrzenc) for [fastapi-dls-nixos](https://github.com/mrzenc/fastapi-dls-nixos). ## Let's Encrypt Certificate (optional) If you're using installation via docker, you can use `traefik`. Please refer to their documentation. Note that port 80 must be accessible, and you have to install `socat` if you're using `standalone` mode. ```shell acme.sh --issue -d example.com \ --cert-file /etc/fastapi-dls/webserver.donotuse.crt \ --key-file /etc/fastapi-dls/webserver.key \ --fullchain-file /etc/fastapi-dls/webserver.crt \ --reloadcmd "systemctl restart fastapi-dls.service" ``` After first success you have to replace `--issue` with `--renew`. # 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 | | `TOKEN_EXPIRE_DAYS` | `1` | Client auth-token validity (used for authenticate client against api, **not `.tok` file!**) | | `LEASE_EXPIRE_DAYS` | `90` | Lease time in days | | `LEASE_RENEWAL_PERIOD` | `0.15` | The percentage of the lease period that must elapse before a licensed client can renew a license \*1 | | `DATABASE` | `sqlite:///db.sqlite` | See [official SQLAlchemy docs](https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/core/engines.html) | | `CORS_ORIGINS` | `https://{DLS_URL}` | Sets `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header (comma separated string) \*2 | | `SITE_KEY_XID` | `00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000` | Site identification uuid | | `INSTANCE_REF` | `10000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001` | Instance identification uuid | | `ALLOTMENT_REF` | `20000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001` | Allotment identification uuid | | `INSTANCE_KEY_RSA` | `/cert/instance.private.pem` | Site-wide private RSA key for singing JWTs \*3 | | `INSTANCE_KEY_PUB` | `/cert/instance.public.pem` | Site-wide public key \*3 | \*1 For example, if the lease period is one day and the renewal period is 20%, the client attempts to renew its license every 4.8 hours. If network connectivity is lost, the loss of connectivity is detected during license renewal and the client has 19.2 hours in which to re-establish connectivity before its license expires. \*2 Always use `https`, since guest-drivers only support secure connections! \*3 If you recreate your instance keys you need to **recreate client-token for each guest**! # Setup (Client) **The token file has to be copied! It's not enough to C&P file contents, because there can be special characters.** This guide does not show how to install vGPU guest drivers! Look at the official documentation packed with the driver releases. ## Linux Download *client-token* and place it into `/etc/nvidia/ClientConfigToken`: ```shell curl --insecure -L -X GET https:///-/client-token -o /etc/nvidia/ClientConfigToken/client_configuration_token_$(date '+%d-%m-%Y-%H-%M-%S').tok # or wget --no-check-certificate -O /etc/nvidia/ClientConfigToken/client_configuration_token_$(date '+%d-%m-%Y-%H-%M-%S').tok https:///-/client-token ``` Restart `nvidia-gridd` service: ```shell service nvidia-gridd restart ``` Check licensing status: ```shell nvidia-smi -q | grep "License" ``` Output should be something like: ```text vGPU Software Licensed Product License Status : Licensed (Expiry: YYYY-M-DD hh:mm:ss GMT) ``` Done. For more information check [troubleshoot section](#troubleshoot). ## Windows **Power-Shell** (run as administrator!) Download *client-token* and place it into `C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\vGPU Licensing\ClientConfigToken`: ```shell curl.exe --insecure -L -X GET https:///-/client-token -o "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\vGPU Licensing\ClientConfigToken\client_configuration_token_$($(Get-Date).tostring('dd-MM-yy-hh-mm-ss')).tok" ``` Restart `NvContainerLocalSystem` service: ```Shell Restart-Service NVDisplay.ContainerLocalSystem ``` Check licensing status: ```shell & 'nvidia-smi' -q | Select-String "License" ``` Output should be something like: ```text vGPU Software Licensed Product License Status : Licensed (Expiry: YYYY-M-DD hh:mm:ss GMT) ``` Done. For more information check [troubleshoot section](#troubleshoot). ## unRAID Guest 1. Make sure you create a folder in a linux filesystem (BTRFS/XFS/EXT4...), I recommend `/mnt/user/system/nvidia` (this is where docker and libvirt preferences are saved, so it's a good place to have that) 2. Edit the script to put your `DLS_IP`, `DLS_PORT` and `TOKEN_PATH`, properly 3. Install `User Scripts` plugin from *Community Apps* (the Apps page, or google User Scripts Unraid if you're not using CA) 4. Go to `Settings > Users Scripts > Add New Script` 5. Give it a name (the name must not contain spaces preferably) 6. Click on the *gear icon* to the left of the script name then edit script 7. Paste the script and save 8. Set schedule to `At First Array Start Only` 9. Click on Apply # API Endpoints
show **`GET /`** Redirect to `/-/readme`. **`GET /-/health`** Status endpoint, used for *healthcheck*. **`GET /-/config`** Shows current runtime environment variables and their values. **`GET /-/readme`** HTML rendered README.md. **`GET /-/manage`** Shows a very basic UI to delete origins or leases. **`GET /-/origins?leases=false`** List registered origins. | Query Parameter | Default | Usage | |-----------------|---------|--------------------------------------| | `leases` | `false` | Include referenced leases per origin | **`DELETE /-/origins`** Deletes all origins and their leases. **`GET /-/leases?origin=false`** List current leases. | Query Parameter | Default | Usage | |-----------------|---------|-------------------------------------| | `origin` | `false` | Include referenced origin per lease | **`DELETE /-/lease/{lease_ref}`** Deletes an lease. **`GET /-/client-token`** Generate client token, (see [installation](#installation)). **Others** There are many other internal api endpoints for handling authentication and lease process.
# Troubleshoot / Debug **Please make sure that fastapi-dls and your guests are on the same timezone!** Maybe you have to disable IPv6 on the machine you are running FastAPI-DLS. ## Docker Logs are available with `docker logs `. To get the correct container-id use `docker container ls` or `docker ps`. ## 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 ### Invalid HTTP request This error message: `uvicorn.error:Invalid HTTP request received.` can be ignored. - Ref. https://github.com/encode/uvicorn/issues/441
Log example ``` WARNING:uvicorn.error:Invalid HTTP request received.

## 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](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/security/tls/manage-tls). ### 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.
Log example **Display-Container-LS** ``` Tue Dec 20 17:25:11 2022:<1>:NLS initialized Tue Dec 20 17:25:12 2022:<2>:NLS initialized Tue Dec 20 17:25:16 2022:<1>:Valid GRID license not found.
