Output

The error message suggests that there is an issue with the Docker daemon not being able to select the appropriate device driver with GPU capabilities for the container named "myproject". Here are a few things you can try to resolve the issue: 1. Check if your Docker installation supports GPU capabilities. Make sure you have installed the necessary GPU drivers and Docker runtime for GPU support (e.g., NVIDIA Container Toolkit for NVIDIA GPUs). 2. Verify that your Docker container is configured to use the GPU. In your Dockerfile or Docker Compose file, ensure that you have specified the appropriate device requests and capabilities for GPU access. For example, in a Dockerfile, you can add the following line to enable GPU access:

1
2
   ENV NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES all
   
Or, in a Docker Compose file, you can specify the GPU device under the `deploy` section:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
   services:
     myproject:
       ...
       deploy:
