To build on a plain vanilla Google Compute GPU host:
- Spin up a GC GPU host on the google console. Make sure it has at least one Tesla K80 GPU, and decent amount of VCPUs.
- Upload this repo and unpack it in
/root/buildor wherever you like as a temporary location. - Run
preinstall.sh. This just runsapt-get updateand puts inscreenandemacsfor getting started. - Run
build.sh. This will build everything needed to start up a nvidia-docker2 container with Ubuntu 16.04 and Lubuntu desktop.
To run the container on this host, use run.sh. Note that NoVNC will
expect connections on port 40001. Then surf to your host on that port.
