This is a major release.

Backwards incompatibilities:

  • VOLUME_MOUNT config vars could previously include {USER} and {HOME} strings.
    This is now replaced by user_name and user_home python variables that can be
    used throughout all config files (and in all settings, not only mounts).
  • HOME env var in containers is set to user_home by default now.
  • Executor nvidia-docker now includes configurable limits to NV_GPU env var.
    Before the default was to always make all GPUs available (see new config
    options below).
  • PRIVILEGED dropped (use ARGS_AVAILABLE, but let me know how this is useful
    with userdocker!)
  • ALLOWED_PUBLISH_PORTS_ALL dropped (use ARGS_AVAILABLE)

New features:

  • Config files now support python variables: uid, gid, user_name, group_name and
    user_home.

  • userdocker version command will include userdocker version information.

  • Use of DOCKER_HOST env var will raise an ERROR.

  • Users can now re-attach to their previously started containers (in case of
    connection loss for example).

  • ALLOWED_PORT_MAPPINGS config var to allow configurable explicit user port
    publishing (docker run -p). Defaults to selectable container ports that are
    mappable to random host port (like in -P), but user can decide if host local
    or world accessible.

  • Improved support for nvidia-docker's NV_GPU env var, which is now checked
    against admin config options:

    • User available GPU(s) configurable, including defaults in case NV_GPU isn't
      specified (NV_ALLOWED_GPUS, NV_MAX_GPU_COUNT_RESERVATION,
      NV_DEFAULT_GPU_COUNT_RESERVATION)
    • Optional exclusive GPU usage per container via the
      NV_EXCLUSIVE_CONTAINER_GPU_RESERVATION config option.
    • Optional exclusion of otherwise busy GPUs from being available to user
      containers (NV_GPU_UNAVAILABLE_ABOVE_MEMORY_USED)
    • Users can list GPUs that are used by other containers
      (userdocker ps --gpu-used)
    • Users can list free GPUs (userdocker ps --gpu-free)

Bug fixes:

  • Error message in case of missing executable improved.
