Debian 11 Server Preparation
To prepare a server on Debian 11 for the FindFace Multi deployment, follow the instructions below minding the sequence.
Note
For other platforms, please refer to the following resources:
In this section:
Install FUSE
Install FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) by running the following command.
sudo apt install fuse -y
GPU: Install NVIDIA Drivers
The first step of the server preparation is the NVIDIA driver installation. It’s applicable only for the GPU configuration. Go straight to the Docker installation if your configuration is CPU-accelerated.
With the GPU-accelerated FindFace Multi, you’ll need the NVIDIA driver version 530
or above. Download a relevant .run
installer from NVIDIA Driver Downloads.
Since you use a .run
installer from NVIDIA, the following dependencies must be installed:
sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo apt install build-essential
Install Docker Products
Docker products must be installed on both CPU and GPU servers. Do the following:
Update the
apt
package index and install packages to allowapt
to use a repository over HTTPS.sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg
Add the Docker’s official GPG key (GNU Privacy Guard key) to the host.
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
Set up the Docker repository.
echo \ "deb [arch="$(dpkg --print-architecture)" signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian \ "$(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME")" stable" | \ sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
Update the
apt
package index one more time.sudo apt-get update
Install
24.*
versions of Docker products.sudo apt-get install docker-ce=5:24* docker-ce-cli=5:24* containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin
Check whether the Docker installation was a success.
sudo docker run hello-world
This command downloads a test image and runs it in a container. When the container runs, it prints a confirmation message and exits.
Install
docker-compose
.sudo curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.15.1/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose
Perform the Docker Engine post-installation procedures to ease your future work with Docker and FindFace Multi containers. Once you can manage Docker as a non-root user, you don’t have to apply
sudo
in the commands related to Docker.sudo groupadd docker sudo usermod -aG docker $USER newgrp docker
Configure the Docker network.
sudo su BIP=10.$((RANDOM % 256)).$((RANDOM % 256)).1 cat > /etc/docker/daemon.json <<EOF { "bip": "$BIP/24", "fixed-cidr": "$BIP/24" } EOF
GPU: Install NVIDIA Container Runtime
To deploy containerized GPU-accelerated FindFace Multi, you need NVIDIA Container Runtime. We recommend installing NVIDIA Container Toolkit that includes this runtime. Do the following:
Specify the repository and install NVIDIA Container Toolkit from it by executing the following commands.
distribution=$(. /etc/os-release;echo $ID$VERSION_ID) \ && curl -fsSL https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/gpgkey | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-container-toolkit-keyring.gpg \ && curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/$distribution/libnvidia-container.list | \ sed 's#deb https://#deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-container-toolkit-keyring.gpg] https://#g' | \ sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-container-toolkit.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-container-toolkit sudo nvidia-ctk runtime configure --runtime=docker sudo systemctl restart docker
Switch to the superuser account.
sudo su
Configure the Docker network. Configure usage of the NVIDIA Container Runtime installed along with NVIDIA Container Toolkit.
BIP=10.$((RANDOM % 256)).$((RANDOM % 256)) cat > /etc/docker/daemon.json <<EOF { "default-address-pools": [ {"base":"$BIP.0/16","size":24} ], "bip": "$BIP.1/24", "fixed-cidr": "$BIP.0/24", "runtimes": { "nvidia": { "path": "nvidia-container-runtime", "runtimeArgs": [] } }, "default-runtime": "nvidia" } EOF
Restart Docker.
systemctl restart docker
Now you are all set to install FindFace Multi. Refer to the following sections:
