Machine Setup
To add a machine GPU or CPU you need to install Ubuntu 22.04 on the machine and prepare a range of open ports, choose a standard installation of Ubuntu 22.04 desktop or server version. currently we do not support any other version of ubuntu. Windows and ubuntu 23.04 support will be added later. To install quickpod software on your machine and connect it to your account switch to root account with command sudo su - and run the following command.
wget -O install.bin https://data.quickpod.io/install.bin && chmod 755 ./install.bin && ./install.bin YOUR_API_KEYThe installer will ask for your open port range, if you made a mistake you can manually edit the following file to update your port range /var/lib/quickpod/machine_open_port_range.
Important: Do not pre-create a user by the name "user" or "quickpod" that will conflict with the installation, those are reserved usernames for the quickpod software.
Important NVML Fix: After installation you will need to add the following lines to /etc/docker/daemon.json
"exec-opts": ["native.cgroupdriver=cgroupfs"], at the top, the final file should look like this
