Drsolver docker

This repository provides a Dockerfile for building a Docker image with DrSolver only.

Current DrPlotter Version: 1.0.3

To use a different version of DrPlotter, modify the download link in the Dockerfile (line 10):

# Line 10:
RUN wget -O drplotter.deb "https://github.com/Chia-Network/drplotter/releases/download/1.0.3/drplotter_1.0.3_amd64.deb"

Running drsolver-docker

This guide provides instructions for cloning the drsolver-docker repository and running the container, assuming Docker is already installed on your system.

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/imba-pericia/drsolver-docker.git

2. Navigate to the cloned repository:

cd drsolver-docker

3. Build the Docker image:

sudo docker build -t drsolver .

This command builds a Docker image named drsolver using the Dockerfile in the current directory (.).

4. Run the Docker container:

docker run -it --gpus '"device=0,3,4"' -e DRSERVER_IP_ADDRESS=Your_drserver_ip_address:port drsolver

This command runs the drsolver image in an interactive terminal (-it) and exposes specific GPUs (--gpus '"device=0,3,4"'). It also sets an environment variable DRSERVER_IP_ADDRESS with the IP address and port of your DRSERVER. Replace Your_drserver_ip_address:port with the actual values.

Explanation of options:

• -it: Runs the container in interactive mode with a pseudo-TTY.
• --gpus '"device=0,3,4"': Specifies the GPUs to be used by the container. You can list specific GPU IDs (e.g., 0,1,2), ranges (e.g., 0-2), or use all for all available GPUs.
• -e DRSERVER_IP_ADDRESS=Your_drserver_ip_address:port: Sets the environment variable DRSERVER_IP_ADDRESS with the IP address and port of your DRSERVER.
• --rm (optional): Automatically removes the container after it stops. Useful for temporary containers.
• --restart=always (optional): Automatically restarts the container if it fails or after the host reboots.
• --name <container_name> (optional): Assigns a specific name to the container.

Example with additional options:

docker run -it --gpus '"device=0"' --rm --restart=always -e DRSERVER_IP_ADDRESS=192.168.1.6:8080 drsolver

This example uses GPU with ID 0, automatically removes the container after it stops, and always restarts it. It sets the DRSERVER_IP_ADDRESS to 192.168.1.6:8080.

Customize the command with the appropriate options for your specific needs. You can combine and modify these options based on your requirements. Remember to replace placeholders like Your_drserver_ip_address:port with actual values.

Exiting and Re-entering Interactive Mode:

• Exiting without stopping the container: Press Ctrl+P followed by Ctrl+Q to detach from the container without stopping it.

• Re-entering the container: Use the following command to re-attach to the running container:

docker attach <container_id_or_name>

Replace <container_id_or_name> with the ID or name of your container. You can find this information using docker ps.

Step-by-Step Docker Installation on Ubuntu:

1. Update the system:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

2. Remove older versions of Docker (if any):

sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc

3. Install required packages:

sudo apt-get install \
    ca-certificates \
    curl \
    gnupg \
    lsb-release

4. Add the GPG key for the official Docker repository:

sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg

5. Add the Docker stable repository:

echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

6. Update the package index:

sudo apt-get update

7. Install Docker Engine, containerd, and Docker Compose:

sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin nvidia-docker2

8. Verify the Docker installation:

sudo docker run hello-world

If you see a greeting message from Docker, the installation was successful.

9. (Optional) Add your user to the docker group to run without sudo:

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

10. Log out and back in (or reboot) to apply the group changes.

After completing these steps, Docker will be installed and ready to use.
