## Introduction
This repository contains tools that allow docker, containerd, or cri-o to be configured to use the NVIDIA Container Toolkit.
*Note*: These were copied from the [`container-config` repository](https://gitlab.com/nvidia/container-toolkit/container-config/-/tree/383587f766a55177ede0e39e3810a974043e503e) are being migrated to commands installed with the NVIDIA Container Toolkit.
These will be migrated into an upcoming `nvidia-ctk` CLI as required.
### Docker
After building the `docker` binary, run:
```bash
docker setup \
--runtime-name NAME \
/run/nvidia/toolkit
```
Configure the `nvidia-container-runtime` as a docker runtime named `NAME`. If the `--runtime-name` flag is not specified, this runtime would be called `nvidia`.
Since `--set-as-default` is enabled by default, the specified runtime name will also be set as the default docker runtime. This can be disabled by explicityly specifying `--set-as-default=false`.
The following table describes the behaviour for different `--runtime-name` and `--set-as-default` flag combinations.
| Flags | Installed Runtimes | Default Runtime |
|-------------------------------------------------------------|:--------------------------------|:----------------------|
| **NONE SPECIFIED** | `nvidia` | `nvidia` |
| `--runtime-name nvidia` | `nvidia` | `nvidia` |
| `--runtime-name NAME` | `NAME` | `NAME` |
| `--set-as-default` | `nvidia` | `nvidia` |
| `--set-as-default --runtime-name nvidia` | `nvidia` | `nvidia` |
| `--set-as-default --runtime-name NAME` | `NAME` | `NAME` |
| `--set-as-default=false` | `nvidia` | **NOT SET** |
| `--set-as-default=false --runtime-name NAME` | `NAME` | **NOT SET** |
| `--set-as-default=false --runtime-name nvidia` | `nvidia` | **NOT SET** |
These combinations also hold for the environment variables that map to the command line flags: `DOCKER_RUNTIME_NAME`, `DOCKER_SET_AS_DEFAULT`.
### Containerd
After running the `containerd` binary, run:
```bash
containerd setup \
--runtime-class NAME \
/run/nvidia/toolkit
```
Configure the `nvidia-container-runtime` as a runtime class named `NAME`. If the `--runtime-class` flag is not specified, this runtime would be called `nvidia`.
Adding the `--set-as-default` flag as follows:
```bash
containerd setup \
--runtime-class NAME \
--set-as-default \
/run/nvidia/toolkit
```
will set the runtime class `NAME` (or `nvidia` if not specified) as the default runtime class.
The following table describes the behaviour for different `--runtime-class` and `--set-as-default` flag combinations.
| Flags | Installed Runtime Classes | Default Runtime Class |
|--------------------------------------------------------|:--------------------------------|:----------------------|
| **NONE SPECIFIED** | `nvidia` | **NOT SET** |
| `--runtime-class NAME` | `NAME` | **NOT SET** |
| `--runtime-class nvidia` | `nvidia` | **NOT SET** |
| `--set-as-default` | `nvidia` | `nvidia` |
| `--set-as-default --runtime-class NAME` | `NAME` | `NAME` |
| `--set-as-default --runtime-class nvidia` | `nvidia` | `nvidia` |
These combinations also hold for the environment variables that map to the command line flags.
