6.1.2.Creating a Local Mirror of the NVIDIA and

Canonical Repositories

Instructions for setting up a private repository or mirroring the NVIDIA and Canonical

repositories are beyond the scope of this document. It is expected that users are

knowledgeable about those processes.

Create a private repository that mirrors the NVIDIA as well as the Canonical

repositories.

Consult /etc/apt/sources.list and the contents of /etc/apt.sources.list.d/ on your

running DGX-1 for the repository locations.

Modify /etc/apt/sources.list and appropriate contents of /etc/apt.sources.list.d/ to

point to your private repository.

Perform the update from the private repository, starting with Get the new package list

step (sudo apt-get update) of the instructions found in the DGX-1 Software Release

Notes and Upgrade Guide, which you can obtain from the Enterprise Support site.

6.2.Installing Docker Containers

This method applies to Docker containers hosted on the NVIDIA DGX Container

Registry, and requires that you have an active DGX Cloud Services account.

On a system with internet access, log in to the DGX Container Registry by entering

the following command and credentials.

$ docker login nvcr.io

Username: $oauthtoken

Password: apikey

Type “$oauthtoken” exactly as shown for the Username. This is a special username

that enables API key authentication. In place of apikey, paste in the API Key text that

you obtained from the Cloud Services website.

Enter the docker pull command, specifying the image registry, image repository, and

tag:

$ docker pull nvcr.io/nvidia/repository:tag

Verify the image is on your system using docker images.

$ docker images

Save the Docker image as an archive. .

$ docker save nvcr.io/nvidia/repository:tag > framework.tar

Transfer the image to the air-gapped system using removable media such as a USB

flash drive.

Load the NVIDIA Docker image.

$ docker load –i framework.tar
