Apollo: Did Apollo docker build upon Nvidia-docker? resulting in failed to install nvidia-driver by *.run

[Durant35]

Even I just run the apollo docker and enter, some modules related to nvidia-driver exist

xxx@in_dev_docker:/apollo$ lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia_drm             49152  7 
nvidia_modeset        860160  5 nvidia_drm
nvidia              13144064  339 nvidia_modeset
drm_kms_helper        155648  2 i915_bpo,nvidia_drm
drm                   364544  6 i915_bpo,drm_kms_helper,nvidia_drm

which are almost the same as the host!!!

xxx@xxx-ThinkPad-T460:~$ lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia_uvm            675840  0
nvidia_drm             49152  7
nvidia_modeset        860160  5 nvidia_drm
nvidia              13144064  340 nvidia_modeset,nvidia_uvm
drm_kms_helper        155648  2 i915_bpo,nvidia_drm
drm                   364544  6 i915_bpo,drm_kms_helper,nvidia_drm

Actually, I had successfully run the offline perception demo but failed after system upgrade nvidia-driver, replacing that installed through NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-384.98.run related to my GeForce 940MX, as mentioned in:

• [How to Run Offline Perception Visualizer] CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version https://github.com/ApolloAuto/apollo/issues/1687
• Fail to Install Nvidia Driver inside docker https://github.com/ApolloAuto/apollo/issues/2787

May I know the image version?

Current apollo container is ubuntu 14.04 + manually installed Nvidia Driver / Cuda 8 / Cudnn 7. But we are trying to migrate to nvidia/cuda:8.0-cudnn7-devel-ubuntu14.04 as the base, as shown in the dockerfile: https://github.com/ApolloAuto/apollo/blob/master/docker/build/dev.x86_64.dockerfile

Maybe you can try building you own image from the dockerfile and play with it. One thing I know is that nvidia-docker v1 is preferred for our situation.

Please share with us about your progress :)

Thanks! My image is dev-x86_64-20171204_1625 during Apollo1.5, almost 4 months ago since I tried.

Sorry for the delay.

I'm developing a canary version of docker scripts which are still in testing. Here is the document: https://github.com/ApolloAuto/apollo/blob/master/docker/canary/README.md

@xiaoxq Thank you for canary version. This version solved the issue with nvidia drivers for me.
However, I cannot run any visualizer there.
It seems that there is no OpenGL library in your docker. I found this issue and I would like to try to build new docker container based on nvidia:opengl containers.
What do you think it makes sense?
And could you share docker file which you used for canary version?

Thanks,
Alex

Should have been fixed in master HEAD.
