nvidia-docker
Build and run Docker containers leveraging NVIDIA GPUs
Deprecated and archived wrapper that gave Docker containers access to NVIDIA GPUs. Superseded by the NVIDIA Container Toolkit, which is the current supported path.
nvidia-docker was a tool that made it easy to build and run Docker containers (self-contained software packages) that could access NVIDIA GPUs for tasks like AI model training or other graphics-intensive workloads. Docker by default does not pass GPU hardware through to containers, and nvidia-docker solved that problem.
However, this project is now deprecated and archived. According to the README, it has been superseded by the NVIDIA Container Toolkit, which is the current supported way to give Docker containers access to NVIDIA GPUs. The nvidia-docker wrapper is no longer supported. If you need this functionality today, the README directs you to the NVIDIA Container Toolkit repository and its installation guide.
Where it fits
- Read the deprecation notice and follow the link to the NVIDIA Container Toolkit
- Migrate an existing nvidia-docker setup to the NVIDIA Container Toolkit install guide
