In case of Docker Container, since the container runs on your host OS, you can save precious boot-up time. This is a clear advantage over Virtual Machine. Consider a situation where I want to install two different versions of Ruby on my system.

Docker uses containers tocreate virtual environments that isolate a TensorFlow installation from the restof the system. TensorFlow programs are run within this virtual environment thatcan share resources with its host machine (access directories, use the GPU,connect to the Internet, etc.). TheTensorFlow Docker images are tested for each release.

Docker is the easiest way to enable TensorFlow GPU support on Linux since only theNVIDIA® GPU driver is required on the host machine (the NVIDIA® CUDA® Toolkit does not need tobe installed).

TensorFlow Docker requirements

• Now you can even run graphical applications (if they are installed in the container) using X11 forwarding to the SSH client: ssh -X username@IPADDRESS xeyes ## run an X11 demo app in the client Here are some related resources: openssh-server doesn't start in Docker container; How to get bash or ssh into a running container in background mode?
• Docker Compose relies on Docker Engine for any meaningful work, so make sure you have Docker Engine installed either locally or remote, depending on your setup. On desktop systems like Docker Desktop for Mac and Windows, Docker Compose is included as part of those desktop installs.

1. Install Docker onyour local host machine.
2. For GPU support on Linux, install NVIDIA Docker support.
   • Take note of your Docker version with docker -v. Versions earlier than 19.03 require nvidia-docker2 and the --runtime=nvidia flag. On versions including and after 19.03, you will use the nvidia-container-toolkit package and the --gpus all flag. Both options are documented on the page linked above.

Download a TensorFlow Docker image

The official TensorFlow Docker images are located in the tensorflow/tensorflow Docker Hub repository. Image releases are tagged using the following format:

Each base tag has variants that add or change functionality:

You can use multiple variants at once. For example, the following downloadsTensorFlow release images to your machine:

Start a TensorFlow Docker container

To start a TensorFlow-configured container, use the following command form:

For details, see the docker run reference.

Examples using CPU-only images

Let's verify the TensorFlow installation using the latest tagged image. Dockerdownloads a new TensorFlow image the first time it is run:

Let's demonstrate some more TensorFlow Docker recipes. Start a bash shellsession within a TensorFlow-configured container:

Within the container, you can start a python session and import TensorFlow.

To run a TensorFlow program developed on the host machine within a container,mount the host directory and change the container's working directory(-v hostDir:containerDir -w workDir):

Permission issues can arise when files created within a container are exposed tothe host. It's usually best to edit files on the host system.

GPU support

Docker is the easiest way to run TensorFlow on a GPU since the host machineonly requires the NVIDIA® driver (the NVIDIA® CUDA® Toolkit is not required).

Install the Nvidia Container Toolkit to add NVIDIA® GPU support to Docker. nvidia-container-runtime is onlyavailable for Linux. See the nvidia-container-runtimeplatform support FAQ for details.

Check if a GPU is available:

Verify your nvidia-docker installation:

Examples using GPU-enabled images

Download and run a GPU-enabled TensorFlow image (may take a few minutes):

It can take a while to set up the GPU-enabled image. If repeatedly runningGPU-based scripts, you can use docker exec to reuse a container.

Use the latest TensorFlow GPU image to start a bash shell session in the container:
