Note: This fork adds the missing X nvidia drivers. The Nvidia drivers are available in: /var/lib/nvidia/lib64/xorg/ on the host machine.
To make X work in a container, the following prerequisites are required:
-
The container must be privileged
-
The following devices must be made available to the container:
/dev/nvidia0/dev/nvidiactl/dev/nvidia-uvm/dev/nvidia-uvm-tools
-
The Nvidia driver must be made available to the container ie
/var/lib/nvidia/lib64/to/usr/local/nvidia/lib64/ -
The Nvidia Xorg module path must be made known to the X server in xorg.conf:
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/local/nvidia/lib64/xorg/modules"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection
- The X server must be started with
-seat 1to trick X into not trying to open a virtual terminal.
GPU Driver Installer containers for Container-Optimized OS from Google
Note: This is not an official Google product.
This repository contains scripts to build Docker containers that can be used to download, compile and install GPU drivers on Container-Optimized OS images.
How to use
Example command:
gcloud compute instances create $USER-cos-gpu-test \
--image-family cos-stable \
--image-project cos-cloud \
--accelerator=type=nvidia-tesla-k80 \
--boot-disk-size=25GB \
--maintenance-policy=TERMINATE \
--metadata-from-file "cos-gpu-installer-env=scripts/gpu-installer-env,user-data=install-test-gpu.cfg,run-installer-script=scripts/run_installer.sh,run-cuda-test-script=scripts/run_cuda_test.sh"The command above creates a GCE instance based on cos-stable image. Then it installs GPU driver on the instance by running a container 'cos-gpu-installer' which is implemented in this repository.
The GPU driver version and container image version are specified in scripts/gpu-installer-env. You can edit the file if you want to install GPU driver version or use container image other than the default.
