Isaac Sim Setup with Docker: Default Python App Launch Failure

[darien.wei]

Hello,

I am tring to make a isaac sim runtime within docker and make it possbile starting with a default python app, then the user can connect the app by streaming client.
Below is my docker configurations by docker-compose, and I’d like to start livestream.py after docker compose up.
However, it does not wrok. Can you please give me some guidance to overcome the issue?

Thank you

docker-compose.yml

kit = SimulationApp(launch_config=CONFIG)
from omni.isaac.core.utils.extensions import enable_extension

kit.set_setting("/app/livestream/websocket/framerate_limit", 120)
kit.set_setting("/ngx/enabled", False)

enable_extension("omni.kit.livestream.native")

while kit._app.is_running() and not kit.is_exiting():
    current_date = datetime.now()
    print(current_date.isoformat())
    kit.update()

kit.close()

Hi @darien.wei - At what step from this documentation you are getting error?
https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/isaacsim/latest/installation/install_container.html

Hello rthaker,

The document works fine. However, I encountered an issue with starting up a default Python app after Docker is running.

In the code sample provided in livestream.py, there is a print statement[Ref.1] for a time string to verify if livestream.py executes after Docker is running. Unfortunately, I cannot see the time printed[Ref.2].

When I run this code in desktop mode, it behaves as expected[Ref.3]

My question is: how can I ensure that livestream.py is executed after the Isaac Sim Docker is running?

Thank you.

[Ref.1]

[Ref.3]

cd ~/.local/share/ov/pkg/isaac_sim-2023.1.1
./python.sh standalone_examples/api/omni.isaac.kit/livestream.py

Hi rthaker,

I’ve identified a solution to address the issue. Instead of using the command parameter, I’ve switched to using entrypoint, which has resolved the problem.

Here’s the updated configuration:

entrypoint: ["bash", "./python.sh", "/root/tmapps/livestream.py"]

Now, it works as expected.
Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,
Darien
