Add RHEL 8.4 support & repos

Open shurik-io opened this issue 3 years ago • 6 comments

  1. Issue or feature description Need a 8.4 version for RHEL. Repo is missing for 8.4. as well.

  2. Steps to reproduce the issue Setup Repo on a RHEL 8.4 machine.

  3. Information to attach (optional if deemed irrelevant) Kernel: Linux test.foo.bar 4.18.0-305.3.1.el8_4.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon May 17 10:08:25 EDT 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

In the meantime I'll try with the 8.3 repos, but would be nice to see a 8.4 soon.

@shurik-io did 8.3 version had any problem on 8.4 system?

@groom-polar-outage Installation worked and using podman with some test containers worked so far. The only problem, I've run into was the one described here: https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-runtime/issues/85 but it's related to something else and not the packages as far as I understand.

At the the moment I couldn't test further and some load. Will update the issue when I should find something.

We are now on RHEL 8.5 and nvidia-docker still only supports RHEL 8.3.

Hello, we're using RHEL 8.5 and I would like to use nvidia-docker. Is there a way to do this based on the RHEL 8.3 modules, and/or to compile nvidia-docker from source?

CentOS 8 is now based on RHEL 8.5, while unsupported and YMMV, one could place the centos8 repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/

@solatis as @qhaas mentions, we currently symlink to centos8 packages for all RHEL 8.* releases and as such specifying centos8 as the distribution name when configuring the yum repositories would be the first thing to try. You are correct that we need to update our documentation to indicate this work around.

We have recently reworked our packaging an provide generic RPM repos.

Please follow the sinstructions here https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html#installing-with-yum-or-dnf

and create an issue against https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit if there are any problems.
