I'm curious why volume mounting is not an option here. Seems like you'd just ship driverless containers, forcing the user to mount the host drivers before allowing the container to run.

That's exactly what we do, the image is indeed driverless and we mount the host driver files as a volume (provided by our volume plugin) when the container is launched. This way, you can launch a CUDA 7.5 container on any machine with driver version 352+

We provide more details here: https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker/wiki/NVIDIA-driver Hope that helps!
