With Docker18.09+nvidia-docker2, cudatoolkit can be installed only inside docker？

If you use docker18.09+nvidia-docker2, can cudatoolkit be installed only in docker, and the host machine is not installed?

Hi @startfromzero0 the CUDA driver must be available on the host, but the CUDA toolkit can be installed in a container. Alternatively one of the nvidia/cuda docker images can be used.

Thanks for your answer,I still have a question,do I need to install the CUDA driver again in the docker container?

No, the driver is only installed on the host. The NVIDIA Container Toolkit ensures that the required driver libraries are made available to the container.
