# Unsloth in a docker container

❗ Very important ❗

The complete docker image is designed for CUDA 12.1!
On the Host there has to be <span style="color: red;">CUDA 12.1</span> and <span style="color: skyblue;">docker</span> installed.

Run `nvidia-smi` on the Host to see if you are using the right Conda version.

Build the container with:
```shell
docker build -t cuda-unsloth-jupyter .
```

And mount your directory to the ```/app``` path when starting.

```shell
docker run --rm  --gpus=all -v path_to_files:/app -d cuda-unsloth-jupyter
```

```--rm```: This flag automatically deletes the container after it exits, freeing up disk space and keeping the environment clean. Add the `-it` flag to run the container in interactive mode, giving you direct access to its shell. Use `-d` to detach the container and run it in the background. Combining `-itd` allows you to interact with the container initially, then detach, leaving it running in the background.
