nvidia-docker vs nvidia-container-runtime

Created on 31 Aug 2018  路  1Comment  路  Source: NVIDIA/nvidia-docker

What is the difference between this two projects?

Can I use this for Singularity containers?

nvidia-container-runtime is a modified runc with a prestart hook that calls into libnvidia-container. But it is not specific to docker, it can work anywhere an OCI runtime is expected.

The nvidia-docker2 package is tiny, it simply registers this runtime to the docker daemon by adding an entry in /etc/docker/daemon.json.

For Singularity, they now have an integration with libnvidia-container, so you can skip the nvidia-container-runtime and nvidia-docker2 packages altogether.
