Docker Daemon API upgrade to v1.4

Question

I'm unable to use the below command to use Nvidia GPUs inside the container:

docker run --gpus all nvidia/cuda:10.0-base nvidia-smi

"--gpus" requires API version 1.40, but the Docker daemon API version is 1.39

It requires API version 1.4 :

docker version                                        
Client: Docker Engine - Community
 Version:           19.03.12
 API version:       1.39
 Go version:        go1.13.10
 Git commit:        48a66213fe

Server: Docker Engine - Community
 Engine:
  Version:          18.09.9
  API version:      1.39 (minimum version 1.12)
  Go version:       go1.11.13
  Git commit:       039a7df

I'm unable to find a way to upgrade the daemon API.

Please help.

Answer 1

I had the exact issue. For me updating docker-ce worked.

$ apt search docker-ce

 docker-ce/xenial 5:19.03.12~3-0~ubuntu-xenial amd64 [upgradable from: 5:18.09.6~3-0~ubuntu-xenial] Docker: the open-source application container engine

 docker-ce-cli/xenial,now 5:19.03.12~3-0~ubuntu-xenial amd64 [installed,automatic] Docker CLI: the open-source application container engine

$ apt install docker-ce
$ docker run --rm --gpus all nvidia/cuda:11.0-base nvidia-smi

As you can see, I had docker client docker-ce-cli (v19.03) installed but the docker server installed was v18.09.

Try

sudo apt upgrade docker-ce
