Access Nucleus on Host from Replicator inside Docker

[bruno.vetter]

I run replicator using the provided Docker image on my Ubuntu 20 Workstation. There is a Nucleus on the Workstation, and I set up the container in a way that it can access the host network. I checked that using telnet 127.0.0.1 3180 inside the container.

I try to reference the Reallusion Worker from the Nucleus like in this tutorial:
https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/prod_extensions/prod_extensions/ext_replicator/shrubs_and_worker_example.html

I basically want to prove that I can access Nucleus Assets from within the container.

Right now, I get a log like this:

I guess I have to authenticate against the nucleus, but might be wrong. If so, how do I do that within scripting, does the replicator API provide any function?

Thanks

Hello @bruno.vetter! I alerted the Replicator team of this post. I will let you know when I have more information for you!

Hi! I believe you should be able to use environment variables to pass credentials to Nucleus to satisfy the authenticated connection requirement. These work in both Linux and Windows:

OMNI_USER
OMNI_PASS

Please give this a try and report back to us.

Thanks!

This works, thanks a lot!
