Setup: Worker to Database-FS Mode

This is the simplest production setup, when everything is up and running on one server.

Note

We also use this setup for benchmarks.

This guide is for Ubuntu. Adjust it to your needs for different Linux distributions.

  1. Log in to the server: ssh ...

    Note

    if necessary, add port forwarding: -L 127.0.0.1:8288:127.0.0.1:8288

  2. If you are logged in as the root user on a clean system, install sudo:

    apt update && apt install -y sudo
    
  3. Install Python, Git, and essential build tools:

    sudo apt update && apt install -y wget curl python3-venv python3-pip build-essential git
    
  4. Install and start PostgreSQL:

    sudo systemctl start postgresql
    sudo systemctl enable postgresql
    sudo systemctl status postgresql
    

    For benchmark automation script

    sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt install -y postgresql postgresql-contrib && pg_ctlcluster 14 main start && \
    \
    sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE USER vix_user WITH PASSWORD 'vix_password';" && \
    sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE DATABASE vix_db OWNER vix_user;" && \
    sudo -u postgres psql -c "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE vix_db TO vix_user;"
    

  5. Create a Visionatrix DB user:

    sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE USER vix_user WITH PASSWORD 'vix_password';"
    sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE DATABASE vix_db OWNER vix_user;"
    sudo -u postgres psql -c "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE vix_db TO vix_user;"
    
  6. Install Visionatrix:

    wget -O easy_install.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Visionatrix/Visionatrix/main/scripts/easy_install.py && \
    python3 easy_install.py && \
    cd Visionatrix && source venv/bin/activate && \
    pip install ".[pgsql]" && \
    \
    USER_PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -base64 32 | tr -dc 'A-Za-z0-9' | head -c 16) && \
    DATABASE_URI="postgresql+psycopg://vix_user:vix_password@localhost:5432/vix_db" \
    python3 -m visionatrix create-user --name admin --password "$USER_PASSWORD" && \
    echo "User 'admin' created with password: $USER_PASSWORD"
    

    For benchmark automation script (CUDA, Dev version)

    wget -O easy_install.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Visionatrix/Visionatrix/main/scripts/easy_install.py && \
    COMPUTE_DEVICE=NVIDIA DEV_VERSION=1 BUILD_RELEASE=1 python3 easy_install.py && \
    cd Visionatrix && source venv/bin/activate && \
    pip install ".[pgsql]" && \
    \
    USER_PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -base64 32 | tr -dc 'A-Za-z0-9' | head -c 16) && \
    DATABASE_URI="postgresql+psycopg://vix_user:vix_password@localhost:5432/vix_db" \
    python3 -m visionatrix create-user --name admin --password "$USER_PASSWORD" && \
    echo "User 'admin' created with password: $USER_PASSWORD"
    

  7. Start the Visionatrix Server(from activated venv):

    DATABASE_URI="postgresql+psycopg://vix_user:vix_password@localhost:5432/vix_db" \
    VIX_SERVER_FULL_MODELS=1 python3 -m visionatrix run --ui --mode=SERVER > server.log 2>&1 & echo "Server PID: $!"
    
  8. Start the Visionatrix Worker(from activated venv):

    DATABASE_URI="postgresql+psycopg://vix_user:vix_password@localhost:5432/vix_db" \
    python3 -m visionatrix run --mode=WORKER > worker.log 2>&1 & echo "Worker PID: $!"
