VSS SOP — Build DS-SOP & Deploy

Complete end-to-end skill: build the DS-SOP Docker image, verify models, configure the blueprint, deploy, test, and tear down using structured helper scripts.

Overview

Use this skill when deploying or tearing down the VSS SOP blueprint, starting RTSP simulations, or validating prerequisites.

Key operations:

• Verifying host requirements and Docker setups.
• Downloading assets and checkpoints under /opt.
• Creating RTSP simulation streams.
• Configuring host environments and deploying compose services.

Prerequisites

• Hardware: H100 / H200 / A100 GPU (>= 80 GB VRAM).
• Driver: NVIDIA Driver 580 with CUDA 13.
• NGC Keys: Registered with subscription access to Metropolis data bundles.

Examples

Run Deploy Setup

# Configure blueprint environment variables
./agentic/vss-sop-skills/vss-sop-deploy/scripts/configure_blueprint.sh --bp-repo . --vlm-mode local

# Start the full deployment stack
./agentic/vss-sop-skills/vss-sop-deploy/scripts/deploy.sh --bp-repo .

Manage Simulation and Teardown

# Start simulation stream on rtsp://localhost:8552/sensor_0
./agentic/vss-sop-skills/vss-sop-deploy/scripts/start_rtsp_server.sh --bp-repo .

# Tear down the deployment and clean volumes
./agentic/vss-sop-skills/vss-sop-deploy/scripts/teardown.sh --bp-repo .

Phase 0 — Prerequisites Check & Auto-Install

Run this phase before every deploy. It checks secret key files, GPU drivers, Docker, NVIDIA Container Toolkit, and NGC configuration, and can automatically install or configure missing prerequisites.

Run Pre-flight Checks and Auto-Install

To run the checks and automatically fix/install any missing components (such as NVIDIA Driver 580, CUDA Toolkit 13, Docker, Docker Compose, NVIDIA Container Toolkit, NGC CLI, and NGC CLI configuration):
