Deployment on server

[racerlucas]

In our lab, we don't have workstation for researcher, so is there any way to deploy the whole environment on a headless server?

Yes. You can install Isaac Sim locally on a PC and then copy the root directory (which is by default ${HOME}/.local/share/ov/pkg/isaac_sim-*) to the server. Then set $ISAACSIM_PATH on the server.

However, you'd better have sudo on the server in case you encounter driver issues or file change watcher limit.

I've done the container deployment provided by the Isaac Sim documents, should redo everything as you say or use the container? Because I think I still need the video.

[btx0424]

I think the container option is fine. You do not have to redo as I said. The container installation should be able to produce videos as well.

It might be slower, though. If you are unsatisfied with the performance, try what I said.

So how to do the $ISAACSIM_PATH thing after installing the container? The file struct of the container is different from the local installation.

You can first locate the root directory of Isaac Sim (should be under /isaac_sim if I remembered correctly) and export it as an environment variable in ~/.bashrc Sent from my iPhoneOn 22 Mar 2024, at 3:03 PM, racerlucas @.***> wrote: So how to do the $ISAACSIM_PATH thing after installing the container?

I tried, but then the only thing left in root directory it the kit dir., that's quite weird。
