Start Here : Installation and Setup
Quick start guide on how-to use nvidia-docker with Linux to mine cryptocurrency
System Requirements
Ubuntu Linux 16.04 or 18.04
NVIDIA Graphics Card / Modern CPU
Install NVIDIA drivers
1
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
2
sudo apt-get update
3
sudo apt-get -y install $(ubuntu-drivers list | sort | uniq | tail -n1)
Copied!
The command ubuntu-drivers will return the latest drivers once you have updated the repository
Reboot your system now!
Install Docker
We must first install Docker to the target system
1
sudo apt-get -y remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc
2
sudo apt-get -y install \
3
    apt-transport-https \
4
    ca-certificates \
5
    curl \
6
    gnupg-agent \
7
    software-properties-common
8
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
9
sudo add-apt-repository -y \
10
   "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
11
   $(lsb_release -cs) \
12
   stable"
13
sudo apt-get update
14
sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
Copied!
Install Docker-Compose
Used to help orchestrate multiple docker containers in the future
1
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.24.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
2
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Copied!
Post Installation Steps
Most likely required for your system if you are not "root" / home users
1
sudo groupadd docker
2
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
3
sudo chown "$USER":"$USER" /home/"$USER"/.docker -R
4
sudo chmod g+rwx "$HOME/.docker" -R
Copied!
You have now installed Docker on your system! Now we can install nvidia-docker
Install nvidia-docker
Once you're strong enough, save the world:
1
# If you have nvidia-docker 1.0 installed: we need to remove it and all existing GPU containers
2
docker volume ls -q -f driver=nvidia-docker | xargs -r -I{} -n1 docker ps -q -a -f volume={} | xargs -r docker rm -f
3
sudo apt-get purge -y nvidia-docker
4
​
5
# Add the package repositories
6
curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/gpgkey | \
7
  sudo apt-key add -
8
distribution=$(. /etc/os-release;echo $ID$VERSION_ID)
9
curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/$distribution/nvidia-docker.list | \
10
  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-docker.list
11
sudo apt-get update
12
​
13
# Install nvidia-docker2 and reload the Docker daemon configuration
14
sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-docker2
15
sudo pkill -SIGHUP dockerd
16

Copied!
Reboot your system now!
