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 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 |
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | services: myproject: ... deploy: resources: reservations: devices: - capabilities: [gpu] |
1 2 | sudo docker run --gpus all nvidia/cuda:10.0-base nvidia-smi |
1 | sudo docker logs myproject |

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 suggests that there is an issue with the GPU device driver configuration in your Docker setup. It seems that the container `myproject` is configured to use GPU capabilities, but the required device driver is not available or properly set up. To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps: 1. Ensure that your system has a compatible GPU and the necessary drivers installed. If you are using NVIDIA GPUs, make sure you have the NVIDIA drivers properly installed on your host system. 2. Install the NVIDIA Container Toolkit, which provides a set of tools and runtime libraries for running containers with GPU support. You can follow the installation instructions specific to your operating system from the official NVIDIA Container Toolkit documentation: https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/install-guide.html 3. Make sure that the Docker daemon is configured to use the NVIDIA Container Runtime. You can do this by adding the following line to the Docker daemon configuration file (usually located at `/etc/docker/daemon.json`):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | { "default-runtime": "nvidia", "runtimes": { "nvidia": { "path": "/usr/bin/nvidia-container-runtime", "runtimeArgs": [] } } } |

The error message suggests that there is an issue with the GPU device driver configuration in your Docker setup. Here are a few things you can try to resolve the problem: 1. Check if your Docker installation supports GPU: Make sure you have installed the NVIDIA Container Toolkit, which is required to use GPUs with Docker. You can follow the installation instructions from the NVIDIA website: https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/install-guide.html 2. Verify GPU drivers on the host system: Ensure that you have the appropriate NVIDIA GPU drivers installed on your host system. You can check the installed drivers by running the following command:
1 2 | nvidia-smi |
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | { "default-runtime": "nvidia", "runtimes": { "nvidia": { "path": "/usr/bin/nvidia-container-runtime", "runtimeArgs": [] } } } |
1 2 | sudo systemctl restart docker |

The error message suggests that there is an issue with selecting the device driver for the GPU capabilities when starting the Docker container. To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps: 1. Make sure you have the NVIDIA Container Toolkit installed on your system. The NVIDIA Container Toolkit allows Docker to use NVIDIA GPUs inside containers. You can install it by following the official installation guide for your operating system: https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/install-guide.html 2. Ensure that the NVIDIA drivers are properly installed on your host system. You can check the status of the NVIDIA drivers by running the following command:
1 2 | nvidia-smi |
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | { "default-runtime": "nvidia", "runtimes": { "nvidia": { "path": "/usr/bin/nvidia-container-runtime", "runtimeArgs": [] } } } |

The error message suggests that there is an issue with the device driver configuration for the GPU in your Docker container. It seems that the specified device driver for the GPU capabilities is empty or not recognized. To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps: 1. Check if your Docker installation supports GPU acceleration. Make sure you have the necessary GPU drivers installed on your host system. 2. Verify that your Docker container is configured to use GPU capabilities. In your Docker Compose file or Dockerfile, ensure that you have specified the appropriate device driver for your GPU. For example, if you are using NVIDIA GPUs, you should have the `nvidia` device driver specified in your container configuration:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | services: myproject: image: your-image deploy: resources: reservations: devices: - capabilities: [gpu] driver: nvidia |
1 2 | sudo docker start myproject |
