Run Mxnet on the Docker

Docker is a system that allows you to build a self-contained Linux operating system that can run in isolation on your computer. In a self-contained Linux system, you can run mxnet and other software packages that don't interact with the packages on your computer.

Mxnet provides 2 docker mirrors that run Mxnet:

Mxnet Docker (CPU version)-https://hub.docker.com/r/kaixhin/mxnet/

Mxnet Docker (GPU version)-https://hub.docker.com/r/kaixhin/cuda-mxnet/

These docker mirrors are updated every week using the latest build of mxnet.

If you need to support CUDA, you need NVIDIA docker image.

To run Mxnet on Docker: Install Docker. For more information, see Docker documentation. Run the following command to start the Mxnet Docker container.

For the CPU container, execute the following command:

    sudo docker run-it kaixhin/mxnet

For the GPU container, execute the following command:
