cutorch

Debian + CUDA + Torch (quite a lightweight installation of Torch). On:

Take note of a few things:

The host machine must have matching NVIDIA drivers for this image (346.96).

As we don't use Torch's ezinstall dependencies, Torch things might break (e.g. in need of apt packages).

Usage

docker run -it --rm \
    --device /dev/nvidiactl --device /dev/nvidia-uvm --device /dev/nvidia0 \
    douglasorr/cutorch_7.0_346.96

Building & publishing

Simple docker for setting up cutorch.

docker build -t douglasorr/cutorch_7.0_346.96:<VERSION> .
docker push douglasorr/cutorch_7.0_346.96:<VERSION>
git push origin HEAD:refs/tags/nvidia_346.96_<VERSION>

Building an AMI able to run this image

Here is what you can do:

# Start from Ubuntu 14.04 [ami-f0b11187]

# Add an init script for allowing ubuntu to own /mnt
echo "#! /bin/sh"                  | sudo tee /etc/init.d/mnt_ubuntu
echo "### BEGIN INIT INFO"         | sudo tee -a /etc/init.d/mnt_ubuntu
echo "# Provides: mnt_ubuntu"      | sudo tee -a /etc/init.d/mnt_ubuntu
echo "# Required-Start: mountall"  | sudo tee -a /etc/init.d/mnt_ubuntu
echo "# Required-Stop:"            | sudo tee -a /etc/init.d/mnt_ubuntu
echo "# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5"    | sudo tee -a /etc/init.d/mnt_ubuntu
echo "# Default-Stop:"             | sudo tee -a /etc/init.d/mnt_ubuntu
echo "### END INIT INFO"           | sudo tee -a /etc/init.d/mnt_ubuntu
echo "chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu /mnt" | sudo tee -a /etc/init.d/mnt_ubuntu
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/mnt_ubuntu
sudo update-rc.d mnt_ubuntu defaults
sudo chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu /mnt
