About-version-2.0.md

We now recommend our users to transition to nvidia-docker 2.0. Version 1.0 is now being deprecated.
In order to ease the transition, a set of scripts is provided for backward compatibility.

Differences with 1.0

• Doesn't require wrapping the Docker CLI and doesn't need a separate daemon.
• Can be integrated seamlessly into the Docker ecosystem (e.g. Swarmkit, Compose).
• GPU isolation is now achieved with a container environment variable NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES (as opposed to NV_GPU).
• Can enable GPU support for any Docker image. Not just the ones based on our official CUDA images.
• Removes the HTTP monitoring feature. We recommend using other tools for this purpose (e.g. DCGM)
• Package repositories are available for Ubuntu and CentOS.
• Uses a new implementation based on libnvidia-container.
• Addresses known limitations.
• Brings additional features and improvements (see [[Advanced topics]]).
