Local Kit App Streaming#

Overview#

The information below explains the process for streaming a containerized Kit App locally for testing and validation.

Prerequisites#

A Linux (Ubuntu) workstation with a GPU and Docker installed
Installation of the NVIDIA Container Toolkit
Node.js installed
A containerized Kit App

Scaffold a Web Client#

Use Create OV WebRTC App to generate a web client configured for local streaming:

npx @nvidia/create-ov-web-rtc-app --name my-local-client --sample local-sample
cd my-local-client
npm install

Launch the Containerized Kit App Locally#

Launch the container locally using the following command:

docker run --gpus all --net=host <name_of_your_app>:<tag>

Configure the Signaling Server#

The generated project connects to 127.0.0.1 by default. If the container is running on a different machine, update the server value in the stream config to the IP address of the machine running the container.

Connect to the Kit App#

Run the development server:

npm run dev

Navigate to http://localhost:5173/ in a Chromium-based browser to view the stream.
