Docker

Notebook

A jupyter notebook can be launched with the notebook command:

docker run -p 8080:8080 --gpus=all genn:latest notebook

Script

PyGeNN scripts can be run with the script command:

docker run  --gpus=all -v .:/home genn:latest script /home/test.py

Shell

If no command is specified, a bash shell will be launched. Alternatively another executable could be specified:

docker run -it --gpus=all genn:latest /bin/bash

This shell can be used for interacting with both PyGeNN and C++ GeNN models.

User permissions

The GeNN docker creates an unprivileged user but, this user can be configured to have the same UID and GID as your local user, meaning that files they create will have correct permissions etc by passing through LOCAL_USER_ID and LOCAL_GROUP_ID environment variables:

docker run -it --gpus=all -e LOCAL_USER_ID=`id -u $USER` -e LOCAL_GROUP_ID=`id -g $USER` genn:latest /bin/bash

Closes #546
