Release v1.14.0 · NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit

This is a promotion of the (internal) v1.14.0-rc.3 release to GA.

This release of the NVIDIA Container Toolkit adds the following features:

Improved support for the Container Device Interface (CDI) on Tegra-based systems
Simplified packaging and distribution. We now only generate .deb and .rpm packages that are compatible with all supported distributions instead of releasing distributions-specific packagfes.

NOTE: This will be the last release that includes the nvidia-container-runtime and nvidia-docker2 packages.

NOTE: This release is a unified release of the NVIDIA Container Toolkit that consists of the following packages:

The packages for this release are published to the libnvidia-container package repositories.

New Contributors

Full Changelog: v1.13.0...v1.14.0

Added support for generating OCI hook JSON file to nvidia-ctk runtime configure command.
Remove installation of OCI hook JSON from RPM package.
Refactored config for nvidia-container-runtime-hook.
Added a nvidia-ctk config command which supports setting config options using a --set flag.
Added --library-search-path option to nvidia-ctk cdi generate command in csv mode. This allows folders where
libraries are located to be specified explicitly.
Updated go-nvlib to support devices which are not present in the PCI device database. This allows the creation of dev/char symlinks on systems with such devices installed.
Added UsesNVGPUModule info function for more robust platform detection. This is required on Tegra-based systems where libnvidia-ml.so is also supported.

Generate the nvc.h header file automaticallty so that version does not need to be explicitly bumped.

Set NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=void to prevent injection of NVIDIA devices and drivers into the NVIDIA Container Toolkit container.

Fix bug causing incorrect nvidia-smi symlink to be created on WSL2 systems with multiple driver roots.
Remove dependency on coreutils when installing package on RPM-based systems.
Create ouput folders if required when running nvidia-ctk runtime configure
Generate default config as post-install step.
Added support for detecting GSP firmware at custom paths when generating CDI specifications.
Added logic to skip the extraction of image requirements if NVIDIA_DISABLE_REQUIRES is set to true.

Include Shared Compiler Library (libnvidia-gpucomp.so) in the list of compute libaries.

Ensure that common envvars have higher priority when configuring the container engines.
Bump CUDA base image version to 12.2.0.
Remove installation of nvidia-experimental runtime. This is superceded by the NVIDIA Container Runtime in CDI mode.

chore(cmd): Fixing minor spelling error. by @elliotcourant in #61
Add support for updating containerd configs to the nvidia-ctk runtime configure command.
Create file in etc/ld.so.conf.d with permissions 644 to support non-root containers.
Generate CDI specification files with 644 permissions to allow rootless applications (e.g. podman)
Add nvidia-ctk cdi list command to show the known CDI devices.
Add support for generating merged devices (e.g. all device) to the nvcdi API.
Use . pattern to locate libcuda.so when generating a CDI specification to support platforms where a patch version is not specified.
Update go-nvlib to skip devices that are not MIG capable when generating CDI specifications.
Add nvidia-container-runtime-hook.path config option to specify NVIDIA Container Runtime Hook path explicitly.
Fix bug in creation of /dev/char symlinks by failing operation if kernel modules are not loaded.
Add option to load kernel modules when creating device nodes
Add option to create device nodes when creating /dev/char symlinks
