SUSE Hack Week: Packaging libnvidia-containers and nvidia-container-runtime-hook

This is a follow up to https://hackweek.suse.com/projects/architecting-a-machine-learning-project-with-suse-caasp.

In the last hackweek I learned that in order to run machine learning workflows on top of SUSE CaaSP, the missing piece is to have libnvidia-containers and nvidia-containers-runtime-hook packaged.

Since then, nvidia has added the build for leap15 in libnvidia-container and nvidia-container-runtime.

However, none of them is released into the libnvidia-container repo nor nvidia-container-runtime repo.

This project is about packaging those two projects in the openSUSE Build Service for openSUSE Leap 15.1.

Looking for hackers with the skills:

Upstream (NVIDIA) uses Dockerfiles to build the packages for the other distros.

Here a small experiment of building the SUSE Leap RPM with a Dockerfile within OBS:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:jordimassaguerpla:branches:openSUSE:Templates:Images:15.1/libnvidia-containers

Result of the experiment. Using a Dockerfile works very good because you can develop and debug using "docker build" and then you can commit that to obs to have a build on a central location, store the sources, etc. etc.

The issue is that the result is an image, it can't be the RPM. There is no "-v" option to mount a volume during the build. Thus, even you can build the image in obs, then you have to run the image to extract the RPM.

obs=build.opensuse.org.

Technical talks at universities by agamez

Description

This project aims to empower the next generation of tech professionals by offering hands-on workshops on containerization and Kubernetes, with a strong focus on open-source technologies. By providing practical experience with these cutting-edge tools and fostering a deep understanding of open-source principles, we aim to bridge the gap between academia and industry.

For now, the scope is limited to Spanish universities, since we already have the contacts and have started some conversations.

Goals

Technical Skill Development: equip students with the fundamental knowledge and skills to build, deploy, and manage containerized applications using open-source tools like Kubernetes.
Open-Source Mindset: foster a passion for open-source software, encouraging students to contribute to open-source projects and collaborate with the global developer community.
Career Readiness: prepare students for industry-relevant roles by exposing them to real-world use cases, best practices, and open-source in companies.

Resources

Instructors: experienced open-source professionals with deep knowledge of containerization and Kubernetes.
SUSE Expertise: leverage SUSE's expertise in open-source technologies to provide insights into industry trends and best practices.
