undockit

Run docker containers like they’re native commands.

Setup

Deps:

1. nvidia drivers
2. nvidia-container-toolkit
3. podman

Now create a CDI config:

sudo nvidia-ctk cdi generate --output=/etc/cdi/nvidia.yaml

Then install undockit from pypi. You could use pipx or uv, it’ll work all the same:

pip install undockit

Usage

To install a container as an executable, use the install command:

undockit install docker.io/bitplanenet/whisper

This will add an executable Dockerfile with the undockit runtime as the shebang into your ~/.local/bin dir or $PREFIX. You can override that location; see --help for details

You can now run it:

whisper --help
