Metropolis microservices Platform Support and Setup
As of January of 2024, Metropolis Microservices supports two targets:
The targets need to be flashed with Jetpack 6.0+.
Here, you can find a quick start guide to work with Metropolis Microservices for Jetson.
DeepStream install
You will need to install DeepStream on the Jetson, you can do so by using the SDK manager. First, open sdkmanager. And make the selection similar to the next figure:
Make sure to have selected DeepStream and click next. On the next step, if you don't want to flash the Jetson, untick the Jetson Linux box to only install the SDK components, as seen in figure 2. Then hit continue, and the install should start.
Services Install
After that, you can install the microservices on the Jetson. Login to the target Jetson and send the following commands:
sudo apt update sudo apt install nvidia-jetson-services
Post-install
It's recommended to use the max performance mode:
sudo nvpmodel -m 0
Reboot, and after the platform boots:
sudo jetson_clocks
Another recommendation is to increase the kernel limits on network sockets:
sudo sysctl -w net.core.rmem_default=2129920 sudo sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=10000000
Finally, NVIDIA runtime should be used by default, and Docker should be used without sudo. To do so:
1. Modify the /etc/docker/daemon.json file on your system and add "default-runtime": "nvidia"
{
"runtimes": {
"nvidia": {
"path": "nvidia-container-runtime",
"runtimeArgs": []
}
},
"default-runtime": "nvidia"
}
2. Add your user to the docker group to allow docker command execution without sudo.
sudo groupadd docker sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
3. Restart docker
sudo systemctl restart docker
At this point, you are ready to start testing sample applications. Move to the next section if you want to learn how.
Sample Applications
If you prefer to start right away testing the available sample applications, here is a list of some of them, including RidgeRun's SmartSeek360 demo (learn more later).
