The error message "Error response from daemon: could not select device driver "" with capabilities: [[gpu]]" indicates that Docker is unable to find a device driver for GPU acceleration. This error typically occurs when you try to start a container that requires GPU support, but your Docker setup is not configured to use a GPU device driver. Here are a few possible solutions to resolve this issue: 1. **Check if your system has a NVIDIA GPU**: This error usually occurs on systems without a NVIDIA GPU or if the NVIDIA GPU drivers are not installed correctly. If you don't have a NVIDIA GPU or if you don't need GPU acceleration, you can ignore this error and start the container without GPU support. 2. **Install NVIDIA GPU drivers and Docker NVIDIA runtime**: If you have a NVIDIA GPU and want to use GPU acceleration, you need to install the NVIDIA GPU drivers and the Docker NVIDIA runtime. Follow the official NVIDIA Docker documentation for your specific Linux distribution: https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/install-guide.html 3. **Update your Docker daemon configuration**: After installing the NVIDIA GPU drivers and Docker NVIDIA runtime, you may need to update your Docker daemon configuration to enable GPU support. Add the following line to your Docker daemon configuration file (usually `/etc/docker/daemon.json`):

   {
     "default-runtime": "nvidia",
     "runtimes": {
         "nvidia": {
             "path": "/usr/bin/nvidia-container-runtime",
             "runtimeArgs": []
         }
     }
   }
   

Save the file, and restart the Docker daemon:

   sudo systemctl restart docker
   

4. **Rebuild your Docker image with NVIDIA support**: If you're using a custom Docker image, you may need to rebuild it with support for NVIDIA GPUs. Add the following line to your Dockerfile:

   ENV NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES all
   

Then, rebuild your Docker image. 5. **Check container configuration**: Ensure that your container is configured to use the NVIDIA GPU driver. You may need to add the `--gpus all` or `--gpus '"device=<device_id>"'` flag when running the container, depending on your specific setup. After following these steps, try starting your container again, and it should be able to access the GPU device driver.

The error message "Error response from daemon: could not select device driver "" with capabilities: [[gpu]]" typically occurs when Docker is unable to find a suitable device driver for GPU acceleration. This issue can arise if you have configured your Docker container to use GPU resources but your host system does not have a compatible GPU or the necessary drivers installed. Here are a few steps you can take to resolve this issue: 1. **Check if your host system has a GPU**: Make sure that your host system has a GPU that supports GPU acceleration for Docker containers. You can check this by running the following command:

   lshw -C display
   

This command will list the display adapters on your system. If you don't see a dedicated GPU listed, then your host system doesn't have a GPU suitable for GPU acceleration. 2. **Check if the GPU drivers are installed**: If your host system has a compatible GPU, ensure that the appropriate drivers are installed. The drivers required will depend on the GPU manufacturer (NVIDIA or AMD). - For NVIDIA GPUs, you need to install the NVIDIA drivers and the NVIDIA Container Toolkit. You can follow the official NVIDIA documentation for your specific distribution: https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/install-guide.html - For AMD GPUs, you need to install the AMD GPU drivers and the AMD ROCm software stack. You can find instructions on the official AMD website: https://rocmdocs.amd.com/en/latest/Installation_Guide/Installation-Guide.html 3. **Check your Docker configuration**: Ensure that you have configured Docker to use the appropriate runtime for GPU acceleration. For NVIDIA GPUs, you should use the NVIDIA Container Toolkit runtime. For AMD GPUs, you should use the ROCm runtime. - For NVIDIA, you can set the default runtime by adding the following line to the `/etc/docker/daemon.json` file:

     {
         "default-runtime": "nvidia"
     }
     

- For AMD, you can set the default runtime by adding the following line to the `/etc/docker/daemon.json` file:

     {
         "runtimes": {
             "rocm": {
                 "path": "/opt/rocm/bin/roc-cuda-runner"
             }
         },
         "default-runtime": "rocm"
     }
     

After modifying the `daemon.json` file, restart the Docker service for the changes to take effect. 4. **Check your container configuration**: Ensure that your Docker container is configured to use the GPU resources. This is typically done by adding the `--gpus all` flag when running the container or by specifying the appropriate `deploy.resources.reservations` or `deploy.resources.limits` options in a Docker Compose file. If you have followed these steps and the issue persists, you may need to check the logs for more information or seek further assistance from the Docker community or your GPU vendor's support channels.
