Note:
The DGX Station does
not
provide any additional isolation guarantees between users
beyond the guarantees that the Ubuntu OS offers. For guidelines about how to secure access
to the DGX Station over SSH, see

2.9.
Preparing the DGX Station for Use
with Docker
Some initial setup of the DGX Station is required to ensure that users have the required
privileges to run Docker containers and to prevent IP address conflicts between Docker and
the DGX Station.
2.9.1. Enabling Users To Run Docker Containers
To prevent the
docker
daemon from running without protection against escalation of
privileges, the Docker software requires
sudo
privileges to run containers. Meeting this
requirement involves enabling users who will run Docker containers to run commands with
sudo
privileges. Therefore, you should ensure that only users whom you trust and who are
aware of the potential risks to the DGX Station of running commands with
sudo
privileges are
able to run Docker containers.
Before allowing multiple users to run commands with
sudo
privileges, consult your IT
department to determine whether you would be violating your organization's security policies.
For the security implications of enabling users to run Docker containers, see
You can enable users to run the Docker containers in one of the following ways:
‣
Add each user as an administrator user with
sudo
privileges.
‣
Add each user as a standard user without
sudo
privileges and then add the user to the
docker
group. This approach is inherently insecure because any user who can send
commands to the docker engine can escalate privilege and run root-user operations.
To add an existing user to the
docker
group, run this command:
$
sudo usermod -aG docker
user-login-id
user-login-id
The user login ID of the existing user that you are adding to the
docker
group.
