Docker Engine Utility for NVIDIA GPUs

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® Engine 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
