Bootstrap Scripts

This repository provides installation scripts for setting up Docker and NVIDIA drivers on Ubuntu systems.

Usage

You can run the installation scripts with a single command using curl and bash.

Quick copy commands

All install and uninstall commands are collected here for fast copy and paste.

Versioning

Default latest commands

These are convenient defaults. They are not pinned; the selected version can depend on the host Ubuntu release.

Docker and Docker Compose

latest

sudo bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://boot.ee.lunit.io/docker/latest/install.sh)"

NVIDIA Driver

latest

sudo bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://boot.ee.lunit.io/nvidia-driver/latest/install.sh)"

NVIDIA Container Toolkit

latest

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://boot.ee.lunit.io/nvidia-container-toolkit/latest/install.sh)"

Uninstall NVIDIA Driver

uninstall

sudo bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://boot.ee.lunit.io/nvidia-driver/uninstall.sh)"

Versioning and tested Ubuntu targets

Rows with a latest badge are selected by the default latest command. Use a row copy button to install that explicit version.

Changelog

v2026.08.14
- Fixed the NVIDIA Driver 535 installer on Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 so transitional nvidia-driver-535-server packages cannot pull in the 580 driver branch. The installer now selects a real 535 package version, pins the NVIDIA package source with APT preferences, and installs the complete driver stack at that version.
- Validated the fix on Ubuntu 24.04 with a Quadro RTX 6000 GPU; the installed and loaded driver is 535.161.08 and no 580 packages remain.
v2026.07.16
- Redesigned the usage page so default latest commands are grouped for quick copy and explicit version installs are shown in the versioning table.
- Added per-product Ubuntu target tables sorted by newest LTS first, with latest badges and copy buttons for each installable version.
v2026.06.23
- Added Ubuntu 20.04 (focal) support. The latest installers now auto-detect your Ubuntu version: Docker installs 28.1.1 on 20.04 (and 29.5.3 on 22.04/24.04), and the NVIDIA Driver installs 535 on 20.04 (and 580 on 22.04/24.04).
v2026.06.12
- The NVIDIA Driver metapackage is now held (apt-mark hold) after install so unattended-upgrades can no longer bump the driver out from under running GPU workloads. The hold is released by nvidia-driver/uninstall.sh.
v2026.06.11
- Version pinning is now supported. latest installs the latest validated version for your OS, and explicit version paths (e.g. docker/29.5.3/install.sh, nvidia-driver/535/install.sh) let you pin a specific version.
- The Docker installer now uses --no-install-recommends so fresh installs omit the buildx and rootless plugins.
v2026.06.10
- Install URLs have changed to a versioned structure. Use docker/latest/install.sh, nvidia-driver/latest/install.sh, nvidia-container-toolkit/latest/install.sh, and nvidia-driver/uninstall.sh. The previous .../ubuntu/install_*.sh paths have been removed — update any bookmarks or scripts.
- NVIDIA Driver default bumped to 580 (Enterprise Ready Driver). The nvidia-driver/latest/install.sh command now installs 580; the 535 driver remains available at nvidia-driver/535/install.sh.
- NVIDIA Driver installer now always installs the -server (Enterprise Ready Driver) package, dropping the previous GPU-model heuristic. A single package serves both desktop and server environments with a longer support lifecycle.
- NVIDIA Driver installer no longer prompts for or triggers a reboot. It now detects whether a reboot is required (nvidia-smi status, lingering nouveau module, pending kernel upgrade) and prints a clear REBOOT REQUIRED / NO REBOOT REQUIRED message before exiting.
