v1.17.6

NOTE: This release is a unified release of the NVIDIA Container Toolkit that consists of the following packages:

• libnvidia-container 1.17.6
• nvidia-container-toolkit 1.17.6

The packages for this release are published to the libnvidia-container package repositories.

What's Changed

Changes in the Toolkit Container

• Allow container runtime executable path to be specified when configuring containerd.
• Bump CUDA base image version to 12.8.1

Changes in libnvidia-container

• Skip files when user has insufficient permissions. This prevents errors when discovering IPC sockets when the nvidia-container-cli is run as a non-root user.

Full Changelog: v1.17.5...v1.17.6

v1.17.5

NOTE: This release is a unified release of the NVIDIA Container Toolkit that consists of the following packages:

• libnvidia-container 1.17.5
• nvidia-container-toolkit 1.17.5

The packages for this release are published to the libnvidia-container package repositories.

What's Changed

• Allow the enabled-cuda-compat hook to be skipped when generating CDI specifications. This improves compatibility with older NVIDIA Container Toolkit installations. The hook is explicitly ignored for management CDI specifications.
• Add IMEX binaries to CDI discovery. This includes the IMEX Daemon and IMEX Control binaries in containers.
• Fix bug that may overwrite docker feature flags when configuring CDI from the nvidia-ctk runtime configure command.
• Add an ignore-imex-channel-requests feature flag. This ensures that the NVIDIA Container Runtime can be configured to ignore IMEX channel requests when these should be managed by another component.
• Update the update-ldcache hook to run the host ldconfig from a MEMFD.
• Add support for CUDA Forward Compatibility (removed by default in v1.17.4) using a dedicated enable-cuda-compat hook. This can be disabled using a disable-cuda-compat-lib-hook feature flag.
• Disable nvsandboxutils in the nvcdi API. This prevents a segmentation violation with NVIDIA GPU Drivers from the 565 branch.
• Fix a bug where cdi mode would not work with the --gpus flag even if the NVIDIA Container Runtime was used.

Changes in the Toolkit Container

• Enable CDI in container engine (Containerd, Cri-o, Docker) if CDI_ENABLED is set.
• Bump CUDA base image version to 12.8.0

Full Changelog: v1.17.4...v1.17.5

v1.17.5-rc.1

This release is intended to allow the k8s-dra-driver-gpu and k8s-device-plugin to import the nvcdi package at a specific tag.

v1.17.4

NOTE: This release is a unified release of the NVIDIA Container Toolkit that consists of the following packages:

• libnvidia-container 1.17.4
• nvidia-container-toolkit 1.17.4

The packages for this release are published to the libnvidia-container package repositories.

What's Changed

• Disable mounting of compat libs from container by default
• Add allow-cuda-compat-libs-from-container feature flag
• Skip graphics modifier in CSV mode
• Properly pass configSearchPaths to a Driver constructor
• Add support for containerd version 3 config
• Add string TOML source

Changes in libnvidia-container

• Add no-cntlibs CLI option to nvidia-container-cli

Changes in the Toolkit Container

• Bump CUDA base image version to 12.6.3

Full Changelog: v1.17.3...v1.17.4

v1.17.3

This version includes updates for:

• NVIDIA CVE-2024-0135
• NVIDIA CVE-2024-0136
• NVIDIA CVE-2024-0137

v1.17.2

NOTE: This release is a unified release of the NVIDIA Container Toolkit that consists of the following packages:

• libnvidia-container 1.17.2
• nvidia-container-toolkit 1.17.2

The packages for this release are published to the libnvidia-container package repositories.

What's Changed

• Fixed a bug where legacy images would set imex channels as all. This bug caused containers to fail when no NVIDIA_IMEX_CHANNELS environment variable was set for legacy images.

Full Changelog: v1.17.1...v1.17.2

v1.17.1

NOTE: This release is a unified release of the NVIDIA Container Toolkit that consists of the following packages:

The packages for this release are published to the libnvidia-container package repositories.

What's Changed

• Fixed a bug where specific symlinks existing in a container image could cause a container to fail to start.
• Fixed a bug on Tegra-based systems where a container would fail to start.
• Fixed a bug where the default container runtime config path was not properly set.

Changes in the Toolkit Container

• Fallback to using a config file if the current runtime config can not be determined from the command line.

Full Changelog: v1.17.0...v1.17.1
