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 a suitable device driver with GPU capabilities. This usually 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're using an NVIDIA GPU, make sure you have the latest NVIDIA drivers installed on your host machine. 2. Install NVIDIA Container Toolkit: You need to install the NVIDIA Container Toolkit (formerly known as nvidia-docker) to enable GPU support in Docker containers.

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 trying to use GPU acceleration in a Docker container without having the necessary GPU support set up on your host system. To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps: 1. Ensure NVIDIA drivers are installed: If you're using an NVIDIA GPU, make sure you have the 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 containers.
