NVIDIA Docker

This repository includes utilities to build and run NVIDIA Docker images.

Example of how CUDA integrates with Docker

Documentation

The full documentation is available on the repository wiki.
A good place to start is to understand why NVIDIA Docker is needed in the first place.

Quick start

Assuming the NVIDIA drivers and Docker are properly installed (see installation)

Ubuntu distributions

# Install nvidia-docker and nvidia-docker-plugin
wget -P /tmp https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker/releases/download/v1.0.1/nvidia-docker_1.0.1-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i /tmp/nvidia-docker*.deb && rm /tmp/nvidia-docker*.deb

# Test nvidia-smi
nvidia-docker run --rm nvidia/cuda nvidia-smi

CentOS distributions

# Install nvidia-docker and nvidia-docker-plugin
wget -P /tmp https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker/releases/download/v1.0.1/nvidia-docker-1.0.1-1.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -i /tmp/nvidia-docker*.rpm && rm /tmp/nvidia-docker*.rpm
sudo systemctl start nvidia-docker

# Test nvidia-smi
nvidia-docker run --rm nvidia/cuda nvidia-smi

Other distributions

# Install nvidia-docker and nvidia-docker-plugin
wget -P /tmp https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker/releases/download/v1.0.1/nvidia-docker_1.0.1_amd64.tar.xz
sudo tar --strip-components=1 -C /usr/bin -xvf /tmp/nvidia-docker*.tar.xz && rm /tmp/nvidia-docker*.tar.xz

# Run nvidia-docker-plugin
sudo -b nohup nvidia-docker-plugin > /tmp/nvidia-docker.log

# Test nvidia-smi
nvidia-docker run --rm nvidia/cuda nvidia-smi
