Any Docker

This template allows you to deploy both GPU-accelerated Docker containers like ComfyUI and containers without GPU support, such as n8n. This flexibility enables a wide range of applications, from AI image generation to automated workflows, all within a single, manageable environment. Configure and run your desired Docker containers effortlessly, leveraging the power and convenience of this versatile template.

While you may prefer to manage Docker configurations directly, we recommend leveraging our “Any Docker” template for initial setup. Configuring Docker with GPU support can be complex, and this template offers a streamlined foundation for building and deploying your containers.

Example: Running N8N with Any Docker

In this example, let’s configure Any Docker with your configuration for N8N and persistent data storage so restarts are possible with intact data. This configuration does not include webhooks. If you need webhooks, go to the dedicated preconfigured template: n8n

This guide is for explanation only. You can start any docker container you like.

See screenshots of configuration below:

The Docker Command ‘Under The Hood’

This template automates the complete setup of a GPU-enabled Docker container, including the installation of all necessary Ubuntu packages and dependencies for NVIDIA GPU support. This simplifies the process, particularly for users accustomed to Docker deployments for web servers, which often require more complex configuration.

The following docker run command is automatically generated by the template to launch your chosen GPU container. It encapsulates all the required settings for optimal performance and compatibility with your Trooper.AI server.

This command serves as an illustrative example to provide developers with insight into the underlying processes:

bash

docker run -d \
  --name ${CONTAINER_NAME} \
  --restart always \
  --gpus ${GPUS} \
  --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway \
  -p ${PUBLIC_PORT}:${DOCKER_PORT} \
  -v ${LOCAL_DATA_DIR}:/home/node/.n8n \
  -e N8N_SECURE_COOKIE=false \
  -e N8N_RUNNERS_ENABLED=true \
  -e N8N_HOST=${N8N_HOST} \
  -e WEBHOOK_URL=${WEBHOOK_URL} \
  docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n \
  tail -f /dev/null

Do not use this command manually if you are not a Docker expert! Just trust the template.

What does N8N enable on the private GPU server?

n8n unlocks the potential to run complex workflows directly on your Trooper.AI GPU server. This means you can automate tasks involving image/video processing, data analysis, LLM interactions, and more – leveraging the GPU’s power for accelerated performance.

Specifically, you can run workflows for:

Image/Video Manipulation: Automate resizing, watermarking, object detection, and other visual tasks.
Data Processing: Extract, transform, and load data from various sources.
LLM Integration: Connect to and interact with Large Language Models for tasks like text generation, translation, and sentiment analysis.
Web Automation: Automate tasks across different websites and APIs.
Custom Workflows: Build and deploy any automated process tailored to your needs.

Keep in mind, you’ll need to install AI tools like ComfyUI and Ollama to integrate them into your N8N workflows on the server locally. Also you need enough GPU VRAM to power all models. Do not give that GPUs to the docker running N8N.

What is Docker in terms of a GPU server?

On a Trooper.AI GPU server, Docker allows you to package applications with their dependencies into standardized units called containers. This is particularly powerful for GPU-accelerated workloads because it ensures consistency across different environments and simplifies deployment. Instead of installing dependencies directly on the host operating system, Docker containers include everything an application needs to run – including libraries, system tools, runtime, and settings.

For GPU applications, Docker enables you to leverage the server’s GPU resources efficiently. By utilizing NVIDIA Container Toolkit, containers can access the host’s GPUs, enabling accelerated computing for tasks like machine learning, deep learning inference, and data analytics. This isolation also improves security and resource management, allowing multiple applications to share the GPU without interfering with each other. Deploying and scaling GPU-based applications becomes significantly easier with Docker on a Trooper.AI server.
