How to run unreal engine app with pixel streaming using ghcr.io/epicgames/unreal-engine:runtime-pixel-streaming in docker

Spark_Fresh · July 11, 2024, 8:01pm

I`ve built test unreal engine 5.4.2 app with pixel streaming plugin for linux. Then i created Dockerfile as this:
FROM ghcr.io/epicgames/unreal-engine:runtime-pixel-streaming

COPY ./Linux/ /home/ue5/ps-app

WORKDIR /home/ue5/ps-app

EXPOSE 8888

ENTRYPOINT [“/home/ue5/ps-app/PixelStreamingApp.sh”, “-RenderOffscreen”, “-Windowed”, “-ForceRes”, “-ResX=1920”, “-ResY=1080”, “-PixelStreamingIP=127.0.0.1”, “-PixelStreamingPort=8888”, “-Unattended”, “-StdOut”, “-FullStdOutLogOutput”]

Docker build runs just fine, but when i`m running container in docker as this:
docker run -d -e NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all --gpus all ps

Container exits with code 1. Logs:
2024-07-11 22:11:25 [2024.07.11-19.11.25:440][ 0]LogLinux: Warning: MessageBox: Cannot find a compatible Vulkan driver (ICD).

What am i doing wrong? CUDA is installed correctly:
PS E:\PixelStreamingTestApp> nvcc --version

Hi there!

There could be a number of different things missing from the container setup.
It does seem to be a nvidia driver issue, or a general Nvidia Container Toolkit install issue.

I recommend following along with this guide here and ensure you have everything installed properly:

github.com

TensorWorks/PixelStreamingCloudGuide/blob/main/Setting Up Docker and Nvidia Container Toolkit on Ubuntu AWS.md

## Setting up Docker and Nvidia Container Toolkit on Ubuntu Instances

Once you have an instance running, you may need Docker for container testing:
The information below has been taken from the [AWS drivers page](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/install-nvidia-driver.html) and the [Nvidia Container Toolkit installation page](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html), but written to be easier to digest.

**Note:** These steps are made for use with Ubuntu AWS instances


### Installing Nvidia GRID drivers and Disabling Nouveau

1. Connect to your Linux instance. Install gcc and make, if they are not already installed.

2. Update your package cache and get the package updates for your instance.

        $ sudo apt-get update -y

3. Upgrade the linux-aws package to receive the latest version.

        $ sudo apt-get upgrade -y linux-aws

Hello @MWillWallT ! Thank u for response.
I`ve installed CUDA toolkit as u said but the app still not running with the same error.
Here is the last check screenshot

Hello, is there any progress?

In my opinion, version 5.4 did not stream on Linux because I found that it uses Invenc12, but Nvidia officials told Invenc12 that driver 550.54 is required. At the same time, Vulkan 1.3.250 in UE5.4 does not support Nvidia driver 550.54 and higher versions. Currently, it only supports driver 550.40 and lower versions, which means that the Nvidia driver version on Linux is not compatible with the Vulkan version in Unreal Engine
