Support Debian 12

[moetayuko]

Debian 12 is now the latest stable version, please package for it.

[lucidnx]

I am waiting for this too...

[Zyn3]

Same here.

Is there a plan for support Debian 12?

curl -fsSL https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/gpgkey | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-container-toolkit-keyring.gpg && curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/debian11/libnvidia-container.list | sed 's#deb https://#deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-container-toolkit-keyring.gpg] https://#g' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-container-toolkit.list using debian11 instead of $distribution can work

Thats what i ended up doing, works fine. ✌️

We are in the process of updating our repos to better support multiple distributions. Note that there are no debian11-specific packages as the debian10 packages are forward-compatible.

Please use the debian11 (or even the debian10) packages for the time being.

Great news! Do you have any time estimation for it?

[elezar]

@marxin the changes should be in our stable repos by mid-September. The new repo structure should be testable in the experimental repos already, meaning that running:

curl -fsSL https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/gpgkey | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-container-toolkit-keyring.gpg \
      && curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/experimental/deb/nvidia-container-toolkit.list | \
            sed 's#deb https://#deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-container-toolkit-keyring.gpg] https://#g' | \
            sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-container-toolkit.list

Should configure the required repositories for all supported systems that use .deb packages.

Note that the NVIDIA Container Toolkit package for the 1.14.0-rc.2 release should already be available there.

[marxin]

Oh, maybe I'm interested in something a bit different. I would like to get an official CUDA stack on Debian 12, which means I would need a collection of packages here: https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/debian12/x86_64/

Is it something that's on plan?

[elezar]

@marxin we have started publishing some of our package to the CUDA downloads repositories, and I will confirm that debian12 is included in this.

[marxin]

Great! But it's not public yet, am I correct? Or can I use it even now?

[elezar]

sorry, to clarify, I cannot speak to the timeline of a debian12 repository at https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/debian12/x86_64/

What I can say is that once that is available, the NVIDIA Container Toolkit packages can be published there. We already publish our packages to the ubuntu-specific repos and will be able to publish to debian-specific repos with the upcoming NVIDIA Container Toolkit 1.14.0 release.

[lucidnx]

Any updates?

[elezar]

We now have a generic deb package repository as described by our instructions here: https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html#installing-with-apt

[marxin]

The distribution is officially supported since CUDA 12.3: https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html#id12

, however, it has some issues (#1791).
