cuda toolkit version difference between OS and docker

[mijung-kim]

Can I install different version of the cuda toolkit from the OS? Currently I have 7.5 on my OS and would like to install 7.0 on docker for tensorflow and other usage.

Yes that's actually where NVIDIA Docker shines.
You can have different CUDA toolkits running in your containers as long as your NVIDIA drivers support it (see CUDA requirements). In your case if you installed CUDA 7.5 on your host it means that your drivers version is 352.XX. Hence you can run CUDA 7.0 containers on it.

@gnujimmik Did it work? Can we close this issue?

@3XX0 Yes! Thank you! :-)
