-
Install the NVIDIA Container Toolkit packages
sudo yum install -y nvidia-container-toolkit
sudo nvidia-ctk runtime configure --runtime=docker
sudo systemctl restart docker
Start the container
docker run -d --gpus=all -v ollama:/root/.ollama -p 11434:11434 --name ollama ollama/ollama
If you’re running on an NVIDIA JetPack system, Ollama can’t automatically discover the correct JetPack version.
Pass the environment variable JETSON_JETPACK=5 or JETSON_JETPACK=6 to the container to select version 5 or 6.
AMD GPU
To run Ollama using Docker with AMD GPUs, use the rocm tag and the following command:
docker run -d --device /dev/kfd --device /dev/dri -v ollama:/root/.ollama -p 11434:11434 --name ollama ollama/ollama:rocm
Vulkan Support
Vulkan is bundled into the ollama/ollama image.
docker run -d --device /dev/kfd --device /dev/dri -v ollama:/root/.ollama -p 11434:11434 -e OLLAMA_VULKAN=1 --name ollama ollama/ollama
Run model locally
Now you can run a model:
docker exec -it ollama ollama run llama3.2
Try different models
More models can be found on the Ollama library.
