How to setup video storage toolkit, ngc api key for it

Accelerated Computing Intelligent Video Analytics Metropolis Microservices for Jetson

Hello NVIDIA Team,

I am working on a project involving NVIDIA DeepStream 9.0, Video Search & Summarization (VSS), and Video Storage Toolkit (VST) on an NVIDIA H100 NVL system.

I have successfully configured Docker, NVIDIA Container Toolkit, NGC CLI, and verified GPU access. However, while trying to download the required Metropolis packages:

  • metropolis-apps-standalone-deployment

  • metropolis-apps-sample-input-data

using NGC CLI, I receive:

403 Access Denied

I checked my NGC configuration and found that my account only has access to:
Org: 0946820335355395
Team: no-team

but the documentation mentions that VST deployment requires access to:
Org: nv-mdx
Team: mdx-v2-0

It seems I do not yet have Metropolis Developer Preview access.

Could someone please guide me on how to request access to the required org/team for Metropolis Microservices and VST deployment? Also, if there is any faster way for enterprise users to get access, please let me know.

My use case is optimizing DeepStream 9.0 pipelines for real-time RTSP video analytics and VSS using VST, Kafka, and transformer-based inference on H100 GPUs.

Thank you.

Which workflow are you want to deploy? If you want to deploy Metropolis Microservices, could you please check VSS here: Introduction — VSS?
