libnvcuvid.so is missing

[carlwain74]

I am trying to build a docker image based off CUDA 10.1 for Ubuntu 16.04.
The application running in the docker container requires libnvcuvid.so. However, this library is not present in the Docker container.

In order to for the application to run successfully I have had to copy the libnvcuvid.so.418.67 library from host machine (which has the CUDA 10.1 toolkit installed) to the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ folder.

I have defined the following environment settings in my Dockerfile

ENV NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES all
ENV NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES video,compute,utility

Is there a more elegant way to obtain this library (i.e. via an apt package)

You should check if libnvcuvid is picked up by your host's ldconfig (ldconfig-p | grep cuvid).
With the following command, my container get libnvcuvid mounted from the host:

docker run -it --runtime nvidia -e NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=video,compute,utility nvidia/cuda:10.0-runtime-ubuntu16.04 sh -c 'ldconfig -p | grep cuvid'
	libnvcuvid.so.1 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvcuvid.so.1

So this issue has been resolved. Initially we were deploying both CUDA toolkit and drivers. Now we are deploying just the drivers (latest).
Also when we deploy our system we remove existing docker installations and deploy the expected release. During this process the runtime was getting deleted as a dependency of docker. Once we corrected the install of nvidia-docker2 after docker is installed things cleared up. We can see that the appropriate libraries are getting mounted into the container and our application is running as expected
