docker over virtualbox cannot start - docker

Question

I have a docker file that creates a valid image that runs on my Ubuntu 18.04.
For compatibility with other machines, I've tried to run the docker in a Virtual Box Ubuntu machine (and avoid any configuration errors that may occur).
my docker run command line:
docker run -id --net=host --rm --privileged --gpus=all --env="NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all" --env="DISPLAY" -e DISPLAY=:0 -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw -v /run/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority:/root/.Xauthority --env="QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1" --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE --security-opt seccomp=unconfined -v /home/git/:/git --name nirge_sim nirge-sim:1.0
The base docker file:
FROM gazebo:gzserver9-bionic
# nvidia-container-runtime
ENV NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES \
${NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES:-all}
ENV NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES \
${NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES:+$NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES,}graphics
# install Utilities
RUN apt-get update -y && apt-get install -y apt-utils curl ca-certificates wget \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
# install gazebo packages
RUN apt-get update -y && apt-get install -y --allow-unauthenticated --no-install-recommends \
libgazebo9-dev \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
# install ros packages
RUN sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
RUN curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/ros.asc | apt-key add -
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --allow-unauthenticated \
ros-melodic-desktop-full \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --allow-unauthenticated --no-install-recommends \
ros-melodic-gazebo-ros-pkgs ros-melodic-gazebo-ros-control \
ros-melodic-gazebo-plugins ros-melodic-gazebo-ros ros-melodic-gazebo-ros\
ros-melodic-simulators \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
# final config for ros
RUN echo 'source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.bash' >> /root/.bashrc
RUN echo 'export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1' >> /root/.bashrc
CMD ["bash"]
So this works on my Host, but not on my hosted host via virtual box.
the error is:
docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:380: starting container process caused: process_linux.go:545: container init caused: Running hook #0:: error running hook: exit status 1, stdout: , stderr: nvidia-container-cli: initialization error: nvml error: driver not loaded: unknown.
Would appreciate any advice on this issue.

Answer 1

It appears that one of the dependencies (Gazebo) requires a dedicated GPU, one that is not simulated as a part of VirtualBox.
Nvidia cards tend to work well in Ubuntu
