Add last stable Debian OS support

[comassky]

Hi,

Debian 11 has just been released but nvidia-docker does not support it yet.

Is it possible to add it in the list of supported OS ?

Hi @comassky. The lack of direct packages for debian 11 is due to cgroupv2 being used as the default. The NVIDIA container stack does not work with the default configuration on these platforms. There is a workaround that can be used (see NVIDIA/libnvidia-container#111).

If you are able to get this workaround working, please close this issue. Improving the situation is on our roadmap.

Hi, workaround works ;)

We now have an RC of libnvidia-container out that adds support for cgroupv2.

If you would like to try it out, make sure and add the experimental repo to your apt sources and install the latest packages:

For DEBs

sudo sed -i -e '/experimental/ s/^#//g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libnvidia-container.list
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y libnvidia-container-tools libnvidia-container1

For RPMs

sudo yum-config-manager --enable libnvidia-container-experimental

sudo yum install -y libnvidia-container-tools libnvidia-container1

libnvidia-container-1.8.0-rc.2 is now live with some minor updates to fix some edge cases around cgroupv2 support.
Assuming you followed the above, a simple update --> install should give you the latest.

Note: This does not directly add debian11 support, but you can point to the debian10 repo and install from there for now.

libnvidia-container-1.8.0 with cgroupv2 support is now GA

Debian 11 support has now been added such that running the following should now work as expected:

distribution=$(. /etc/os-release;echo $ID$VERSION_ID) \
   && curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/gpgkey | sudo apt-key add - \
   && curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/$distribution/nvidia-docker.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-docker.list
