nicholas@server:~/project$ sudo docker start myproject [sudo] password for nicholas: Error response from daemon: could not select device driver "" with capabilities: [[gpu]] Error: failed to start containers: myproject
The error message you're seeing indicates that Docker is unable to start the container named "myproject" because it can't find an appropriate device driver with GPU capabilities. This typically happens when you're trying to use GPU acceleration in a Docker container, but the necessary GPU drivers or runtime are not properly set up on your host system. To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps: 1. Ensure NVIDIA GPU drivers are installed on your host system: If you haven't already, install the NVIDIA drivers for your GPU. 2. Install NVIDIA Container Toolkit: This toolkit allows Docker to access the GPU. You can install it with these commands:

The error message you're seeing indicates that Docker is unable to start the container named "myproject" because it can't find a suitable device driver with GPU capabilities. This typically happens when you're trying to use GPU acceleration in your Docker container, but the necessary GPU drivers or runtime are not properly set up on your host system. To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps: 1. Ensure NVIDIA GPU drivers are installed: If you're using an NVIDIA GPU, make sure you have the latest NVIDIA drivers installed on your host system. 2. Install NVIDIA Container Toolkit: You need to install the NVIDIA Container Toolkit (formerly known as nvidia-docker) to enable GPU support in Docker. Follow these steps:

The error message you're encountering suggests that Docker is trying to start a container that requires GPU capabilities, but it can't find an appropriate GPU device driver. This typically happens when you're attempting to use GPU acceleration in a Docker container without proper setup. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue: 1. Check if your system has a GPU: If you're not sure whether your system has a GPU, you can check using:
1 2 | lspci | grep -i nvidia |
1 2 3 4 5 6 | distribution=$(. /etc/os-release;echo $ID$VERSION_ID) curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/gpgkey | sudo apt-key add - curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/$distribution/nvidia-docker.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-docker.list sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-container-toolkit sudo systemctl restart docker |
1 2 | sudo docker info | grep Runtimes |
1 2 | sudo docker run --gpus all ... |
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | deploy: resources: reservations: devices: - driver: nvidia count: all capabilities: [gpu] |
1 2 | sudo systemctl restart docker |
1 2 | sudo journalctl -u docker.service |
