Flatcar Container Linux w/ Nvidia Driver

[jpuerto-psc]

Migrating this issue from GitLab https://gitlab.com/nvidia/container-images/driver/-/issues/31:

Good Afternoon,

I have had success following the instructions for getting this running on flatcar: https://gitlab.com/nvidia/container-images/driver/-/tree/master/flatcar
The only issue I am having is that I am unable to use the --gpus flag. Any advice on how to get this resolved?

Thanks!

Juan

@jpuerto-psc can you share the command you are trying to run and the output you are seeing?

@cdesiniotis - this is the command and subsequent error. Please note that this issue is 2 years old:

docker run --gpus=all --runtime=nvidia nvidia/cuda:11.0-base nvidia-smi
docker: Error response from daemon: could not select device driver "" with capabilities: [[gpu]].
ERRO[0000] error waiting for container: context canceled

I am able to get this to work without the gpus flag; however, our workflows require this parameter be passed.

How are you installing NVIDIA Container Toolkit on your machine?

@cdesiniotis - I used the instructions here (https://gitlab.com/nvidia/container-images/driver/-/tree/master/flatcar) when I tried this two years ago. I'd like to note that I have not tried this since originally experiencing these issues two years ago, not sure if this has been resolved since then or not.
