Install Celantur Container on Windows

It is possible to run Celantur on-premise on Windows 11 with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). NVIDIA provides an official documentation to set up the software dependencies.

Requirements

• NVIDIA GPU: minimum 10GB, e.g. RTX 2080 Ti
• Windows 11 or Windows Server 2022

Steps

1. Install NVIDIA Driver version 515 or later.

2. Install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL 2) with wsl --install -d Ubuntu.

You might need to update the Linux kernel.

Check that you can access the NVIDIA driver from within WSL 2 by opening WSL and entering nvidia-smi. You should see detailled information about the GPU.

4. Install Docker Desktop on Windows.

5. Activate Docker WSL 2 integration, by checking "Use WSL 2 based engine" in the settings.

6. Install NVIDIA Container Toolkit within WSL. (Start WSL with wsl)

 distribution=$(. /etc/os-release;echo $ID$VERSION_ID)
curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/gpgkey | sudo apt-key add -
curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/$distribution/nvidia-docker.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-docker.list

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-container-toolkit

7. Restart Docker.

Option 1:

Option 2 in WSL2:

sudo service docker stop
sudo service docker start

or

sudo systemctl restart docker

8. Test CUDA containers

Test that the setup is correct by running following sample provided by NVIDIA:

docker run --rm --gpus all nvidia/cuda:11.7.1-base-ubuntu22.04 nvidia-smi
