NVIDIA Container Toolkit Changelog

v1.15.0-rc.2

• Extend the runtime.nvidia.com/gpu CDI kind to support full-GPUs and MIG devices specified by index or UUID.
• Fix bug when specifying --dev-root for Tegra-based systems.
• Log explicitly requested runtime mode.

v1.15.0-rc.1

• Skip update of ldcache in containers without ldconfig. The .so.SONAME symlinks are still created.

• Normalize ldconfig path on use. This automatically adjust the ldconfig setting applied to ldconfig.real on systems where this exists.

• Include nvidia/nvoptix.bin in list of graphics mounts.

• Include vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_layers.json in list of graphics mounts.

• Add support for --library-search-paths to nvidia-ctk cdi generate command.

• Add support for injecting /dev/nvidia-nvswitch* devices if the NVIDIA_NVSWITCH=enabled envvar is specified.

• Added support for nvidia-ctk runtime configure --enable-cdi for the docker runtime. Note that this requires Docker >= 25.

• Fixed bug in nvidia-ctk config command when using --set. The types of applied config options are now applied correctly.

• Add --relative-to option to nvidia-ctk transform root command. This controls whether the root transformation is applied to host or container paths.
