Containerized NVIDIA License Server. Note that this is the legacy server for vGPU version 13 and below. Please see README for more information.

Nvidia License Server

Important

The license server deployed via this repo is the legacy server. NVIDIA has deprecated this server in vGPU version 14 and later. For newer vGPU versions, please use the new NVIDIA License System (NLS), which has cloud-hosted (CLS) and on-prem (DLS) deployment options. The on-prem option now natively supports containerized environments.

Getting Started

1. Copy the setup.bin file from the license server installation package into the root of this directory.
2. Replace the MAC address and hostname in .env.
3. Start docker-compose:

   docker-compose up -d --build

The first run will take a while to initialize because the license server is installed after container creation. Use docker-compose exec nvidia-license-server journalctl -f to monitor progress.

By default (editable via the .env file), port 7070 is used for licensing client access and port 8080 is used for web GUI (for uploading licenses, etc.)
