FAQPage Schema

How do I start a local NVIDIA Content Agents REST service using Docker Compose?▼

To start a local Content Agents REST service, you run the quickstart to launch a single service or minimal multi-service stack using the repository's Docker Compose setups. It includes preflight checks and a health pass to verify startup.

Do I need an RTX GPU to run the Content Agents Texture service?▼

No, you do not need an RTX GPU to run the Content Agents Texture service, which can run CPU-only. However, the Material and Physics services do require an RTX-capable GPU with the NVIDIA render stack.

What prerequisites are required for a Docker Compose local deployment of Content Agents?▼

Prerequisites for a Docker Compose local deployment include Docker daemon, Docker Compose v2.24+, curl, and repo-root .env provider credentials. The quickstart runs preflight checks to verify these are in place before startup.

Can I run multiple Content Agents REST services together in a minimal local setup?▼

Yes, you can run a minimal multi-service stack alongside single-service deployments. The quickstart supports starting material, physics, or texture services together using the repository's docker-compose setups.

Why is my Content Agents local deployment failing preflight checks?▼

Preflight checks fail if Docker daemon, Docker Compose v2.24+, curl, or repo-root .env provider credentials are missing. Review captured logs and ensure all prerequisites are in place before attempting a controlled startup.
