Notes on Nvidia GPUs on Docker Swarm

After installing nvidia-docker2 I had to manually configure /etc/docker/daemon.json to use the nvidia runtime by default for the host, and then pass the appropriate environment variables, namely NVIDIA_VISIABLE_DEVICES, and NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES.

• Docker
  • swarmkit #1244
  • Passing generic resources to Docker services
    • Not applicable and/or pretty much useless if using docker stack deploy with compose file format
    • Probably still applies for OTHER generic resources but I do not think this is the recommended way of doing this for Nvidia specific GPUs nowadays
• Nvidia
  • nvidia-docker #1268
  • nvidia-docker #1035
  • nvidia-docker #1575
• Other
  • Super insightful Hack
    • Outdated as most of the stuff no longer applies, but helped with understanding the need/how to set daemon.json manually
  • Python on Whale's user guide - Generic Resources on Docker Swarm
    • helped me understand generic swarmkit resources, which seemed to be the old "hacky way", but restricts a GPU (or any device) to a single swarm service
• Accessing GPU's from a Docker Swarm Service
  • Outdated or no longer applies, but still insightful
