docker: Error response from daemon: could not select device driver "" with capabilities: [[gpu]]

By Jessica Wood

Despite having 4 GPUs each with ~20GB vRAM, docker is not able to run with the following command. How can I solve this?

[20:08:28] jalal@echo:~/research/code$ docker run --shm-size 2GB -it --gpus all docurdt/heal
