This is a promotion of the v1.12.0-rc.5 release to GA.

This release of the NVIDIA Container Toolkit v1.12.0 adds the following features:

  • Improved support for headless Vulkan applications in containerized environments.
  • Tooling to generate Container Device Interface (CDI) specifications for GPU devices. The use of CDI is now the recommended mechanism for using GPUs in podman.

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.

Full Changelog: v1.11.0...v1.12.0

v1.12.0

Changes for the container-toolkit container

  • Update CUDA base images to 12.0.1

Changes from libnvidia-container v1.12.0

  • Add nvcubins.bin to DriverStore components under WSL2

v1.12.0-rc.5

  • Fix bug here the nvidia-ctk path was not properly resolved. This causes failures to run containers when the runtime is configured in csv mode or if the NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES includes graphics or display (e.g. all).

v1.12.0-rc.4

  • Generate a minimum CDI spec version for improved compatibility.
  • Add --device-name-strategy [index | uuid | type-index] options to the nvidia-ctk cdi generate command that can be used to control how device names are constructed.
  • Set default for CDI device name generation to index to generate device names such as nvidia.com/gpu=0 or nvidia.com/gpu=1:0 by default. NOTE: This is a breaking change and will cause a v0.5.0 CDI specification to be generated. To keep the previous generate a v0.4.0 CDI specification with nvidia.com/gpu=gpu0 or nvidia.com/gpu=mig1:0 device names use the type-index option.
  • Ensure that nivdia-container-toolkit package can be upgraded to from versions older than v1.11.0 on RPM-based systems.

v1.12.0-rc.3

  • Don't fail if by-path symlinks for DRM devices do not exist
  • Replace the --json flag with a --format [json|yaml] flag for the nvidia-ctk cdi generate command
  • Ensure that the CDI output folder is created if required
  • When generating a CDI specification use a blank host path for devices to ensure compatibility with the v0.4.0 CDI specification
  • Add injection of Wayland JSON files
  • Add GSP firmware paths to generated CDI specification
  • Add --root flag to nvidia-ctk cdi generate command to allow for a non-standard driver root to be specified

v1.12.0-rc.2

  • Update golang version to 1.18
  • Inject Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) devices into a container using the NVIDIA Container Runtime
  • Improve logging of errors from the NVIDIA Container Runtime
  • Improve CDI specification generation to support rootless podman
  • Use nvidia-ctk cdi generate to generate CDI specifications instead of nvidia-ctk info generate-cdi

Changes from libnvidia-container v1.12.0-rc.2

  • Skip creation of existing files when mounting them from the host

v1.12.0-rc.1

  • Improve injection of Vulkan configurations and libraries
  • Add nvidia-ctk info generate-cdi command to generated CDI specification for available devices

Changes for the container-toolkit container

  • Update CUDA base images to 11.8.0

Changes from libnvidia-container v1.12.0-rc.1

  • Add NVVM Compiler Library (libnvidia-nvvm.so) to list of compute libraries
