Description
This PR introduces a Docker-based installation workflow to address environment inconsistency and dependency conflicts during the installation process.
Motivation
The original installation process for Quest involves complex system-level dependencies. Specifically, building
libraftand other custom CUDA kernels requires specific versions of:fmt)These requirements were not fully documented, often leading to installation failures on different host systems. By providing a standardized Docker environment, we encapsulate these dependencies, ensuring a "one-click" setup experience.
Key Changes
Dockerfile: A multi-stage-ready environment based on CUDA 12.4 and Ubuntu 22.04, pre-configured with the necessary Conda environment,cmake,ninja, and system libraries.README.md: Added a "Docker Installation" section as the recommended setup method, providing clear steps for building the image and running the container with GPU support.Validation
I have successfully verified this Docker-based installation on the following hardware:
On both platforms, the kernels (including
libraft) and thequestpackage compiled and ran without issues.Acknowledgements
First of all, thank you for developing such an excellent project! Quest is an amazing work, and I have found it incredibly valuable for my own research and development.
I'm contributing this Docker support to help more users get started with Quest quickly and to reduce the maintenance burden related to environment issues. I hope this enhancement is helpful to the community!
