FastAPI-DLS

Minimal Delegated License Service (DLS).

Compatibility tested with official NLS 2.0.1, 2.1.0, 3.1.0.

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

Official Links

All other repositories are forks! (which is no bad - just for information and bug reports)


[[TOC]]

Setup (Service)

System requirements

  • 256mb ram
  • 4gb hdd
  • maybe IPv6 must be disabled

Tested with Ubuntu 22.10 (from Proxmox templates), actually its consuming 100mb ram and 750mb hdd.

Prepare your system

  • Make sure your timezone is set correct on you fastapi-dls server and your client

Docker

Docker-Images are available here:

  • Docker-Hub: collinwebdesigns/fastapi-dls:latest
  • GitLab-Registry: registry.git.collinwebdesigns.de/oscar.krause/fastapi-dls:latest

The images include database drivers for postgres, mariadb and sqlite.

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

To test if everything is set up properly you can start container as following:

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

Debian/Ubuntu (using dpkg)

Packages are available here:

Successful tested with:

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

Not working with:

Run this on your server instance

First go to GitLab-Registry and select your version. Then you have to copy the download link of the fastapi-dls_X.Y.Z_amd64.deb asset.

apt-get update
FILENAME=/opt/fastapi-dls.deb
wget -O $FILENAME <download-url>
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:

pacman -Sy
FILENAME=/opt/fastapi-dls.pkg.tar.zst

curl -o $FILENAME <download-url>
# or
wget -O $FILENAME <download-url>

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
  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 for docker guest setup.

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.

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
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 <app-dir>/cert/instance.private.pem Site-wide private RSA key for singing JWTs *3
INSTANCE_KEY_PUB <app-dir>/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.

*3 Always use https, since guest-drivers only support secure connections!

*4 If you recreate 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.

Download client-token and place it into /etc/nvidia/ClientConfigToken:

curl --insecure -L -X GET https://<dls-hostname-or-ip>/-/client-token -o /etc/nvidia/ClientConfigToken/client_configuration_token_$(date '+%d-%m-%Y-%H-%M-%S').tok

Restart nvidia-gridd service:

service nvidia-gridd restart

Check licensing status:

nvidia-smi -q | grep "License"

Output should be something like:

vGPU Software Licensed Product
    License Status                    : Licensed (Expiry: YYYY-M-DD hh:mm:ss GMT)

Done. For more information check troubleshoot section.

Windows

Done. For more information check troubleshoot section.

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

Troubleshoot

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.

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.

Error on releasing leases on shutdown (can be ignored and/or fixed with reverse proxy)

The driver wants to release current leases on shutting down windows. This endpoint needs to be a http endpoint. The error message can safely be ignored (since we have no license limitation :P) and looks like this:
