Pull Request Overview

This PR simplifies Vulkan installation by replacing custom SDK installation with system package management. It removes the complex custom Vulkan SDK installation process and switches to using the standard libvulkan1 package from the distribution's package manager, which should provide better hardware support and ARM compatibility.

  • Simplified Vulkan installation using system packages instead of custom SDK
  • Removed custom build process for non-x86_64 architectures
  • Cleaned up Docker environment variables related to custom Vulkan SDK

Summary of Changes

Hello @ericcurtin, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request refactors the Vulkan integration process by moving away from a custom Vulkan SDK download and build approach. Instead, it now relies on the system's package manager to install the libvulkan1 runtime library. This change aims to streamline the build process, reduce image complexity, and enhance compatibility across various hardware platforms, including ARM, as indicated by the PR description.

Highlights

  • Vulkan Installation Simplification: The method for installing Vulkan has been simplified by switching from manually downloading and building the Vulkan SDK to directly installing the libvulkan1 package via apt-get.
  • Dockerfile Cleanup: Explicit environment variable configurations related to the Vulkan SDK, such as VULKAN_SDK, PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, and PKG_CONFIG_PATH, have been removed from the Dockerfile.
  • Enhanced Hardware Support: This change is intended to improve hardware support, particularly for ARM architectures, by leveraging system-provided Vulkan runtime libraries.

Code Review

This pull request simplifies the Vulkan setup by switching from a manual SDK installation to using Ubuntu's libvulkan1 package. This is a great improvement that makes the Docker image build process cleaner and more reliable, especially for ARM architectures. My main feedback is to also include the mesa-vulkan-drivers package. This will provide a software-based Vulkan implementation (lavapipe), ensuring that Vulkan can be utilized even without a dedicated GPU, which is important for the 'cpu' and 'generic' variants. Without this, the Vulkan loader won't find any devices to use.
