Nvidia docker runtime: Failed to create task for container

+1

−0

I installed the Nvidia container toolkit so I can use GPU acceleration in Docker containers. However, I can't get the containers to work:

$ sudo docker run --runtime=nvidia nvidia/cuda:12.2.0-base-ubuntu20.04 nvidia-smi
docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: unable to retrieve OCI runtime error (open /run/containerd/io.containerd.runtime.v2.task/moby/8858057455bac72bc63f4346a3b03f2f63eda68762f7a7c2b5cf135fb23819c6/log.json: no such file or directory): nvidia-container-runtime did not terminate successfully: exit status 127: unknown.
ERRO[0000] error waiting for container:

$ sudo docker run --gpus all nvidia/cuda:12.1.1-runtime-ubuntu22.04 nvidia-smi
docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start containerprocess: error during container init: error running hook #0: error running hook: exit status 1, stdout: , stderr: Auto-detected mode as 'legacy'
nvidia-container-cli: initialization error: driver rpc error: failed to process request: unknown.
ERRO[0001] error waiting for container:

$ nvidia-container-runtime
nvidia-container-runtime: error while loading shared libraries: unexpected PLT reloc type 0x00

What's the problem?

Relevant information (will expand based on comments):

Arch Linux with 6.1.52-1-lts (neofetch)
GeForce GTX 1060 3GB with driver nvidia 535.104.05 (inxi -Fz)
Packages installed: libnvidia-container libnvidia-container-tools nvidia nvidia-container-runtime nvidia-container-toolkit nvidia-docker nvidia-lts nvidia-utils (pacman -Q | rg nvi)
nouveau packages not installed (pacman -Q | rg nouv)
Regular (non-GPU) Docker containers work
Kernel modules: nvidia_drm nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia video (sudo lsmod | rg nvi)
nvidia-smi by itself works and prints an ASCII table with some reasonable stats about my video card

I found a partial fix. You have to run:

sudo nvidia-ctk cdi generate --output=/etc/cdi/nvidia.yaml

After this, podman is able to run it:

sudo podman run --rm --device nvidia.com/gpu=all ubuntu nvidia-smi -L
GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB (UUID: GPU-...)

However, Docker still gets the same error. Unfortunately, I need this to run in Docker specifically, not podman, so the question is still open.
