Nested Dockerfiles for remote multiuser dev. Projects are specific to torch & ML

This is intended for development, not for deployment.

build scripts cache gits to local folders preventing unnecessary downloads.
multiple users with sudo rights are created, ssh is set up for remote acess, common caching and data folders are exposed.
to allow multiple access to same container, entrypoint is not specified by default instead specifying a command. This allows same container to be run by users using different entrypoints.

Most Docker examples are intended for deployment, but containerization can also be useful for development, the purpose of this project. Deployment projects do not need sudo apt access or multiuser envinronments and require the small footprint. To create a deployment project based on this strip down to only the necessary installs, the images on this project would be too large for efficient deployment.

Structure of the project

OS and CUDA version are passed as baseimage at build time.

Every image takes in a baseimage arg to enable rebuilding and testing projects on new code easily.

ARG baseimage
FROM=${baseimage}

Designed to be modular with nested images.

xvdp/cuda:11.8.0-devel-ubuntu22.04    -> since nvidia regularly deprecates images, I store them to docker xvdp
    ssh                     auth. base (ssh, ports, users, .bashrc) rebuild stack on authorized_keys change
        mamba
            torch           torch base image (torch 2.0.1, nvdiffrast, drjit, transformers, diffusion, jupyter)
                diffuse:    Diffusion sandbox wip ( iadb wuerstchen )
                lang:       language  sandbox wip ( whisper llama )
                rf:         radiance fields sandbox wip ( kaloin )
                gans:       GAN sandbox wip ( stylegan3 )

xvdp/cuda:12.1.0-devel-ubuntu22.04
    ssh
        mamba
            torch       torch >= 2.1
                tts:        text to speech (coqui-ai/TTS, suno-ai/bark)

Build Scripts:

Example projects, images/<project>, contain a build.sh script and a Dockerfile
./config.sh contains local folders and user info, sourced by build.sh. Modify to own paths.
./images/utils.sh common bash utilities, sourced by build.sh

To prevent unnecessary downloads:

Github projects are downloaded and cached locally in build.sh scripts, instead of pulling on Dockerfile.
Env variables (eg. TORCH_HOME, etc.) to cache container runtime installs are called ./dockerrun and other shortcut scripts.

Run Scripts

./dockerrun <args> --cache <shared vol>:<mounted vol> Similar to docker run with extra arg --cache. The cache arg creates a volume argument and environenment variables inside the container which can be used as commond download loctions. Default environments are created for TORCH_HOME, TORCH_EXTENSIONS_DIR, DNNLIB_CACHE_DIR, HUGGINGFACE_HOME, TTS_HOME.
./dockerglrun <args> --cache <shared vol>:<mounted vol> Similar to ./dockerrun for local .Xauth mapping for gl dependent projects, e.g. _gans
./dokrun -i ``./runrf, ./runlang, etc. shortcut scripts do dockerrun for specific projects to further simplify docker run verbosity

SHR=\mnt\MyDrive\weights
VOL=\home\weights
IMG=<maintainer\dockerimage:tag>
bash dockerrun --user 1000 -it --rm --cache $SHR:$VOL $IMG
# is similar to
docker run --user 1000 -it --rm -v $SHR:$VOLs -e TORCH_HOME="${VOL}\torch" -e HUGGINGFACE_HOME="${VOL}\huggingface" $IMG
# alternatively create shortcut, see example script
bash runlang

base images

./images/ssh

Base to other images, creates users and ssh access. Bilt over OS and graphic driverrs, defines users incorporates shh authorized_keys in folder, adds .bashrc, exposes port and adds to /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Based on https://gist.github.com/mlamarre/a3ac761bb2e47162b73e72ac7d5cc395.

./build.sh -b nvidia/cuda:11.8.0-devel-ubuntu22.04

creates: xvdp/cuda1180-ubuntu2204_ssh:latest

requires

-b baseimage e.g. nvidia/cuda:11.8.0-devel-ubuntu22.04
local root with authorized_keys file with valid public keys [ default : ~/.ssh ] modified by -r

NOTE: If autorized keys are modified, the entire stack requires rebuilding.

optional

-m maintainer, default: xvdp
-n name, default: baseimage
-t tag, default latest
-p port, default 32778
bashrc file in Dockerfile folder. copies to $HOME/.bashrc if not present build.sh will create empty

Generates a <mantainer>/<name>_shh:<tag>

with Creates 3 users [1000 1001 1002] appuser, appuser1, appuser2 part of docker group '999'
if bashrc file exists in Dockerfile parent folder -> $HOME/.bashrc
exposes <port>
- to config (docker image inspect <maintainer>/<name>:<tag> -f '{{ .Config.ExposedPorts }}')
- sets ENV $PORT for reference
- see section on running

Should be built before any docker image that requires $HOME.

./images/mamba

Nested mamba image based on https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge-images/blob/master/ubuntu/Dockerfile. Images are built on (base) env.

./build.sh -b xvdp/cuda1180-ubuntu2204_ssh Adds mamba/conda -- used by all subsequent projects

creates: xvdp/cuda1180-ubuntu2204_ssh_mamba:latest

requires

-b baseimage e.g. xvdp/cuda1180-ubuntu2204_ssh

optional

-m maintainer, default: xvdp
-n name, default: baseimage
-t tag, default latest

Adds mamba installation on /opt/conda and gives all users write permissions.

./images/torch

./build.sh -b xvdp/cuda1180-ubuntu2204_ssh_mamba Main workhorse of these projects, collection of general conda/pip libraries required for pytorch based machine learning projects. As new projects are added, this file is updated to include new requirements, includes:

pytorch, torchvision, torchaudio, numpy, ffmpeg, sckit & other standard vision libs
nvdiffrast, drjit differential rendering packages
huggingface diffusers, transformers
jupyter: contains an alias to run jupyter to port exposed in image/ssh: jupy enabling remote jupyter deployment
warning: this image is too heavy for deployment, build slim image without every library

creates: xvdp/cuda1180-ubuntu2204_ssh_mamba_torch:latest

requires

-b baseimage e.g. xvdp/cuda1180-ubuntu2204_ssh_mamba
-r local project root torchvision.0.15 breaks ffmpeg unless cloned and installed

optional

-m maintainer, default: xvdp
-n name, default: baseimage
-t tag, default latest

Generates a docker image with latest pytorch. Baseimage needs to have appuser user, correct graphics divers to match torch build.

run example

docker run --user 1000 --name torch --gpus device=1 --cpuset-cpus="14-27" -v /mnt/Data/weights:/home/weights -v /mnt/Data/data:/home/data --network=host -it --rm xvdp/cuda1180-ubuntu2204_ssh_mamba_torch

Default entry point is bin/bash. Entry point can be redirected to python with --entrypoint python or jupyter.

It can also be started in bash and attached from a different console to jupyter, e.g.

jupyter docker exec -it torch jupyter notebook --allow-root -y --no-browser --ip=0.0.0.0 --port=32778

volumes: shared memory, drives, data backup https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/

-v /mnt/share:/home/share mount shared volumes (physical:container)

shared volume e.g. /mnt/share has to have read and write permisions to every user in shared group

cd /mnt/share && sudo chown -R root:docker /mnt/share && sudo chmod -R 775 /mnt/share

interaction

Ctrl+P,Ctrl+Q Detach sequence if run with -it without stopping container
exit exits and stops container
docker start $name

Multiple services from one container https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/multi-service_container/

It is not recommended as some processes can remain services can remain hanging, but it is possible
TODO: use tmux
connecting to entrypoint from more than one client, mirrors consoles
exec different commands on the same detached container is possible, see exec and attach example below

run examples

To run from clients on images stored in server

add valid autorized_keys file on client user ssh-keygen -t rsa. Save to cat id_rsa.pub >> <mydir_with_authorized_keys>/authorized_keys
expose server port to ufw sudo ufw enable && sudo ufw allow <port> && sudo ufw allow ssh # TODO validate

Networking

The network=host solution appears to enable any number of users to login sharing environments.
per port access can be also run passing -p 32728:32778 but then more need to be ufw allowed for more users.

# run on specific port
docker run --gpus all -it -p 32728:32778 --user 1000 -v /mnt/share:/home/share --rm xvdp/cuda1180-ubuntu2204_ssh_mamba_torch
