Using GPU from a docker container?

Question

I\'m searching for a way to use the GPU from inside a docker container.

The container will execute arbitrary code so i don\'t want to use the privileged mode.

Use x11docker by mviereck:

https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker#hardware-acceleration says

Hardware acceleration

Hardware acceleration for OpenGL is possible with option -g, --gpu.

This will work out of the box in most cases with open source drivers on host. Otherwise have a look at wiki: feature dependencies. Closed source NVIDIA drivers need some setup and support less x11docker X server options.

This script is really convenient as it handles all the configuration and setup. Running a docker image on X with gpu is as simple as

x11docker --gpu imagename
