Nvidia CUDA Linux Container Image Sources
Usage of the CUDA container images requires the Nvidia Container Toolkit.
Container images are available from:
Announcement
Cuda 12 images are now LIVE
Entrypoint scripts are rolling out now for all images, which include deprecation notices for image sets that have reached End-of-life.
Please read our Container Tag Support Policy for more information.
Centos7 and Ubi7 Deprecation Notice
Centos7 and Ubi7 based images are available up till CUDA 12.4.0. Starting with CUDA 12.4.1, images for these operating systems are no longer produced.
PowerPC images Deprecation Notice
CUDA 12.4 are the last releases to support PowerPC. Beginning 12.5+ we no longer support ppc64le based images.
Ubuntu 24.04, AmazonLinux 2023, AzureLinux 2 support
CUDA 12.5.1 brings support for Ubuntu 24.04 images.
CUDA 12.6.0 brings support for AmazonLinux (amzn2023) and CBL-Mariner/AzureLinux (cm2).
Deprecated: "latest" tag
The "latest" tag for CUDA, CUDAGL, and OPENGL images has been deprecated on NGC and Docker Hub.
With the removal of the latest tag, the following use case will result in the "manifest unknown" error:
$ docker pull nvidia/cuda
Error response from daemon: manifest for nvidia/cuda:latest not found: manifest unknown: manifest
unknownThis is not a bug.
IMAGE SECURITY NOTICE
The CUDA images are scanned for CVE vulnerabilities prior to release and some images may contain CVEs at the time of publication.
Our Product Security teams reviews the CVEs and determines if the CVE should block the release or not. We try to mitigate as much as we can, but since we do not control the upstream base images, some cuda image releases might be impacted.
Please consult the README on the NGC or Docker Hub pages for details.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH NOTICE
The LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set inside the container to legacy nvidia-docker v1 paths that do not exist on newer installations. This is done to maintain compatibility for our partners that still use nvidia-docker v1 and this will not be changed for the forseable future. There is a chance this might cause issues for some.
Building from source
The container image scripts are archived in the dist/ directory and are available for all supported distros and cuda versions.
Here is an example on how to build an multi-arch container image for Ubuntu 18.04 and CUDA 11.6.0:
WARNING: cudgl image builds REQUIRE a secure registry to push built intermediate images to since buildkit does not easily allow using local image references from the build container.
./build.sh -d --image-name my-remote-container-registry/cuda --cuda-version 11.6.0 --os ubuntu --os-version 18.04 --arch x86_64,arm64 --pushSee ./build.sh --help for usage.

The README_CICD.md document provides details on how the gitlab pipelines work and how to control, modify, or debug them.
