If you have problems running Docker Desktop, check out the possible problems when running Docker Desktop just below.
Open Docker Desktop and go to Settings -> Resources -> WSL integration. Check "Enable integration with my default WSL distro" and "Ubuntu 22.04" and press Apply & Restart as shown below.
Open Docker Desktop and go to Settings -> Docker engine and add runtime to the docker config file as shown below and press Apply & Restart:
Or you can copy and paste merged config file from here:
Open Ubuntu terminal via Windows terminal
Install NVIDIA Container Toolkit repository for your distribution by running the following command:
Update the APT repository cache and install the nvidia-container-toolkit package:
Restart Docker Desktop.
Enter the following command to verify that the installation was successful:
If you have problems running this container, try upgrading CUDA Toolkit to latest version.
After docker image is pulled, you will see nvidia-smi output.
Deploy Supervisely Agent with GPU support on Windows WSL.
Open Supervisely instance and go to the Start -> Team Cluster page and press "Add" button
Select "Supervisely agent".
In the modal window go to "advanced settings" and check "Use nvidia runtime" option to enable GPU support.
Copy the instructions command and run it in the Ubuntu terminal.
After the agent docker image is pulled you will see this message in the terminal. It means that agent is successfully deployed.
Go to the Team Cluster page and open your agent, check that agent is running. That's it! Now you can run GPU tasks on your Windows machine.
