Introduction
This repository contains tools that allow docker, containerd, or cri-o to be configured to use the NVIDIA Container Toolkit.
Note: These were copied from the container-config
repository are being migrated to commands installed with the NVIDIA Container Toolkit.
These will be migrated into an upcoming nvidia-ctk
CLI as required.
Docker
After building the docker
binary, run:
docker setup \
--runtime-name NAME \
/run/nvidia/toolkit
Configure the nvidia-container-runtime
as a docker runtime named NAME
. If the --runtime-name
flag is not specified, this runtime would be called nvidia
.
Since --set-as-default
is enabled by default, the specified runtime name will also be set as the default docker runtime. This can be disabled by explicityly specifying --set-as-default=false
.
The following table describes the behaviour for different --runtime-name
and --set-as-default
flag combinations.

--set-as-default=false --runtime-name NAME |
NAME |
NOT SET |
--set-as-default=false --runtime-name nvidia |
nvidia |
NOT SET |
These combinations also hold for the environment variables that map to the command line flags: DOCKER_RUNTIME_NAME
, DOCKER_SET_AS_DEFAULT
.
Containerd
After running the containerd
binary, run:
containerd setup \
--runtime-class NAME \
/run/nvidia/toolkit
Configure the nvidia-container-runtime
as a runtime class named NAME
. If the --runtime-class
flag is not specified, this runtime would be called nvidia
.
Adding the --set-as-default
flag as follows:
containerd setup \
--runtime-class NAME \
--set-as-default \
/run/nvidia/toolkit
will set the runtime class NAME
(or nvidia
if not specified) as the default runtime class.
The following table describes the behaviour for different --runtime-class
and --set-as-default
flag combinations.
