Docker¶

1. Ensure Docker prereqs are all installed:
   

   $ sudo apt update
   $ sudo apt install ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release
   

2. Install GPG key:
   

   $ sudo mkdir -m 0755 -p /etc/apt/keyrings
   $ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
   

3. Add Docker APT repository configuration:
   

   echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu  $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
   

4. Install packages:
   

   $ sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
   

NVidia Container Toolkit¶

1. Install GPG key:
   

   $ curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/gpgkey | apt-key add -
   

2. Setup APT repo:
   

   $ sudo bash -c "curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/ubuntu22.04/nvidia-docker.list > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-docker.list" 
   

3. Install package:
   

   $ sudo apt update
   $ sudo apt -y install nvidia-container-toolkit
   

4. Restart docker:
   

   $ sudo systemctl restart docker
