### Install GPUStack

Run the following command to install and start the GPUStack server using Docker:

```bash
sudo docker run -d --name gpustack \
    --restart unless-stopped \
    -p 80:80 \
    --volume gpustack-data:/var/lib/gpustack \
    gpustack/gpustack
```

<details>
<summary>Alternative: Use Quay Container Registry Mirror</summary>

If you cannot pull images from `Docker Hub` or the download is very slow, you can use our `Quay.io` mirror by pointing your registry to `quay.io`:

```bash
sudo docker run -d --name gpustack \
    --restart unless-stopped \
    -p 80:80 \
    --volume gpustack-data:/var/lib/gpustack \
    quay.io/gpustack/gpustack \
    --system-default-container-registry quay.io
```
</details>

Check the GPUStack startup logs:

```bash
sudo docker logs -f gpustack
```

After GPUStack starts, run the following command to get the default admin password:

```bash
sudo docker exec gpustack cat /var/lib/gpustack/initial_admin_password
```

Open your browser and navigate to `http://your_host_ip` to access the GPUStack UI. Use the default username `admin` and the password you retrieved above to log in.
