Docker Permissioning #61

Open ghost opened 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

I am being unable to use docker. Even a simple pull gives an error:

axs34-ttl03@dgj223:~/magenta$ docker pull tensorflow/magenta Using default tag: latest Warning: failed to get default registry endpoint from daemon (Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.26/info: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied). Using system default: https://index.docker.io/v1/ Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Post http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.26/images/create?fromImage=tensorflow%2Fmagenta&tag=latest: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied

Could someone please advise?

You need root permission to pull a new docker image so you can make this a software request to the admins. Otherwise JADE has conda installed which should allow you to install both Tensorflow and Magenta in your own virtual environment. Alternatively JADE also have a different containerisation system especially designed for HPC called Singularity that allows you to build a container on your own machine and you can upload it to use on JADE.

Hi

Is there a specific NVIDIA Container you require?If not singularity seems to work well.

Thanks
