How to enable cache for Curobo docker container

[emfebert]

Hi,

I'm using the docker container curobo_docker:user_isaac_sim_2023.1.0 and the cache is disabled as indicated by the message in the top-right corner of the isaac-sim gui.

How can I enable the cache?
The loading times for the curobo examples are extremely slow (3-4 minutes) every time.

I'm using isaac-sim as a native gui in the docker.

Thanks!

Nvidia developer forum can be your answer.

Cache button on top-right corner only works with omniverse isaac-sim.

I just used the simulator and this repository only 3 weeks, but if you are struggling with loading cache like rtx rendering, how about check that you mounted cache volume when you run the container first?

The native Isaac sim cache works.

I followed the instructions for the issac sim container here:
https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/isaacsim/latest/installation/install_container.html
But the cache isn't working there either.

I'm definitely mounting the cache paths since I use their command:
docker run --name isaac-sim --entrypoint bash -it --gpus all -e "ACCEPT_EULA=Y" --rm --network=host
-e "PRIVACY_CONSENT=Y"
-v ~/docker/isaac-sim/cache/kit:/isaac-sim/kit/cache:rw
-v ~/docker/isaac-sim/cache/ov:/root/.cache/ov:rw
-v ~/docker/isaac-sim/cache/pip:/root/.cache/pip:rw
-v ~/docker/isaac-sim/cache/glcache:/root/.cache/nvidia/GLCache:rw

Follow this site then you may find answer.
https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/isaacsim/latest/installation/install_faq.html#isaac-sim-setup-set-omni-server

Default isaac-sim container sets download path to "http://omniverse-content-production.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Assets/Isaac/2023.1.0"

You can use your localhost omniverse cache server by adding arguments to your docker run.

-e "OMNI_SERVER=omniverse://localhost/NVIDIA/Assets/Isaac/2023.1.1" 

Remind that this cache is for storing asset, not for performance of simulation. You may allocate more resources to your container if simulation is too slow.
