📝 Describe your problem

First to use Podman with Dockge on Arch Linux I had to enable the podman service, which I generally don't but that's okay. Also had to change the docker mounted socket path.

sudo systemctl start podman.service
sed -i 's#/var/run/docker.sock:#/run/podman/podman.sock:#' compose.yaml
sudo podman-compose up -d

After that most composer files work except those using Cuda, like:

version: "3"
services:
  test-gpu:
    devices:
      - nvidia.com/gpu=all
    image: nvidia/cuda:11.6.2-base-ubuntu20.04
    command: nvidia-smi

The example above does work if I run it directly using podman-compose up. Directly running podman run --rm --device nvidia.com/gpu=all nvidia/cuda:11.6.2-base-ubuntu20.04 nvidia-smi also works. However it gives an error when using Dockge:

Error response from daemon: container create: stat nvidia.com/gpu=all: no such file or directory

I tried adding the device to Dockge in case the permissions for devices would be transitive (shouldn't but just in case and to no avail):

echo '    devices:' >> compose.yaml                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
echo '     - nvidia.com/gpu=all' >> compose.yaml                                                                                                                                                                                                             
sudo podman-compose up -d

Internally, Nvidia-Docker integration is configured in /etc/cdi/nvidia.yaml which is generated using sudo nvidia-ctk cdi generate --output=/etc/cdi/nvidia.yaml. So it may be related to containers/podman#19338.

I have the same issue. Works on the command line with Docker: docker compose up but when started within Dockge I see,

Error response from daemon: error gathering device information while adding custom device "nvidia.com/gpu=all": no such file or directory
