# How to use NVIDIA GPU in Docker | ||
|
||
WSL supports NVIDIA-based GPU acceleration, making it ideal for many use cases | ||
including machine learning or general compute acceleration. Since Docker version | ||
25, the use of `virtualisation.docker.enableNvidia` has been deprecated in | ||
favour of a more standard specification called Container Device Interface. | ||
|
||
1. Enable the NVIDIA Container Toolkit and disable the mounting of executables, | ||
as this will cause an problem related to missing libraries. | ||
|
||
```nix | ||
hardware.nvidia-container-toolkit = { | ||
enable = true; | ||
mount-nvidia-executables = false; | ||
}; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
2. As of Docker 25, the Docker daemon doesn't have the CDI feature enabled by | ||
default. | ||
|
||
```nix | ||
virtualisation.docker = { | ||
enable = true; | ||
daemon.settings.features.cdi = true; | ||
}; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
3. Test the installation by running the following command. | ||
|
||
```shell | ||
docker run --rm --device nvidia.com/gpu=all ubuntu nvidia-smi -L | ||
``` |

# How to use NVIDIA acceleration with nix-ld | ||
|
||
By default, the NixOS WSL configuration provides a symlink farm from | ||
/usr/lib/wsl/lib to the OpenGL packages. However, if you want to use the GPU | ||
with a non-NixOS compiled program via nix-ld (e.g. nvidia-smi), you also need to | ||
add the symlinks to the to the nix-ld libraries. | ||
|
||
```nix | ||
let | ||
wsl-lib = pkgs.runCommand "wsl-lib" { } '' | ||
mkdir -p "$out/lib" | ||
# # We can't just symlink the lib directory, because it will break merging with other drivers that provide the same directory | ||
