# Docker
This directory contains Dockerfiles for running LeRobot in containerized environments. Both images are **built nightly from `main`** and published to Docker Hub with the full environment pre-baked — no dependency setup required.
## Pre-built Images
```bash
# CPU-only image (based on Dockerfile.user)
docker pull huggingface/lerobot-cpu:latest
# GPU image with CUDA support (based on Dockerfile.internal)
docker pull huggingface/lerobot-gpu:latest
```
## Quick Start
The fastest way to start training is to pull the GPU image and run `lerobot-train` directly. This is the same environment used for all of our CI, so it is a well-tested, batteries-included setup.
```bash
docker run -it --rm --gpus all --shm-size 16gb huggingface/lerobot-gpu:latest
# inside the container:
lerobot-train --policy.type=act --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human
```
## Dockerfiles
### `Dockerfile.user` (CPU)
A lightweight image based on `python:3.12-slim`. Includes all Python dependencies and system libraries but does not include CUDA — there is no GPU support. Useful for exploring the codebase, running scripts, or working with robots, but not practical for training.
### `Dockerfile.internal` (GPU)
A CUDA-enabled image based on `nvidia/cuda`. This is the image for training — mostly used for internal interactions with the GPU cluster.
## Usage
### Running a pre-built image
```bash
# CPU
docker run -it --rm huggingface/lerobot-cpu:latest
# GPU
docker run -it --rm --gpus all --shm-size 16gb huggingface/lerobot-gpu:latest
```
### Building locally
From the repo root:
```bash
# CPU
docker build -f docker/Dockerfile.user -t lerobot-user .
docker run -it --rm lerobot-user
# GPU
docker build -f docker/Dockerfile.internal -t lerobot-internal .
docker run -it --rm --gpus all --shm-size 16gb lerobot-internal
```
### Multi-GPU training
To select specific GPUs, set `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` when launching the container:
```bash
# Use 4 GPUs
docker run -it --rm --gpus all --shm-size 16gb \
-e CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3 \
huggingface/lerobot-gpu:latest
```
### USB device access (e.g. robots, cameras)
```bash
docker run -it --device=/dev/ -v /dev/:/dev/ --rm huggingface/lerobot-cpu:latest
```
