Add support for rocky linux #175

Closed mliradelc closed 1 year ago

mliradelc commented 2 years ago

Rocky linux is not in the list of supported distros. I would like to have it because Rocky is the spiritual successor of centos 8

qhaas commented 2 years ago

Compatibility with upstream (RHEL) is a goal of Rocky, so wouldn't the packages meant for RHEL8 suffice for all so-called 'RHEL Clones'?

elezar commented 2 years ago

We currently use centos8 packages for most "RHEL Clones" -- mostly becase we already have the infrastructure set up to build and distribute these. We are evaluating whether Rocky Linux should replace this going forward.

For the time being, installing the centos8 packages on Rocky Linux should work as expected. If this is not the case, please let us know.

From the 1.14.0 release following the instructions here where the https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/stable/rpm/nvidia-container-toolkit.repo repo file is used should be applicable to any modern RPM-based operating system.
