If you have problems running Docker Desktop, check out the possible problems when running Docker Desktop just below.
Docker Desktop - WSL Kernel version too low
Open Windows Terminal and run the following command:
wsl --update
Docker Desktop Windows Hypervision is not present
Restart you computer and go to BIOS settings and enable Virtualization.
Docker Desktop Resources - You don't have any WSL 2 distros installed
In this case you need to update your WSL distro to version 2.
Open Windows Terminal and run the following commands:
- 1.Get name of your WSL distro
wsl -l -v
Output:
NAME STATE VERSION
* Ubuntu-22.04 Running 1
docker-desktop-data Running 2
docker-desktop Running 2
- 2.Update your WSL distribution to version 2
wsl --set-version Ubuntu-22.04 2
Output:
Conversion in progress, this may take a few minutes.
The operation completed successfully.
- 3.Set default WSL version to 2
wsl --set-default-version 2
Output:
The operation completed successfully.
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.
Docker Desktop Resources
Open Docker Desktop and go to Settings -> Docker engine and add runtime to the docker config file as shown below and press Apply & Restart:
{
"default-runtime": "nvidia",
"runtimes": {
"nvidia": {
"path": "nvidia-container-runtime",
"runtimeArgs": []
}
}
}
Or you can copy and paste merged config file from here:
{
"builder": {
"gc": {
"defaultKeepStorage": "20GB",
"enabled": true
}
},
"experimental": false,
"features": {
"buildkit": true
},
"runtimes": {
"nvidia": {
"path": "/usr/bin/nvidia-container-runtime",
"runtimeArgs": []
}
}
}
Docker engine
Open Ubuntu terminal via Windows terminal
Ubuntu Windows Terminal
distribution=$(. /etc/os-release;echo $ID$VERSION_ID) \
&& curl -fsSL https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/gpgkey | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-container-toolkit-keyring.gpg \
&& curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/$distribution/libnvidia-container.list | \
sed 's#deb https://#deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-container-toolkit-keyring.gpg] https://#g' | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-container-toolkit.list
Update the APT repository cache and install the
nvidia-container-toolkit package:sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-container-toolkit
sudo nvidia-ctk runtime configure --runtime=docker
Restart Docker Desktop.
Enter the following command to verify that the installation was successful:
sudo docker run --rm --runtime=nvidia --gpus all nvidia/cuda:12.2.0-runtime-ubuntu22.04 nvidia-smi
After docker image is pulled, you will see nvidia-smi output.
