 ====== Docker tutorial ======
-  * Step 1:  [[https://docs.docker.com/get-started/docker-overview/|Understand what docker is]]. In particular, image, container.
+===== Step 1: Understand docker =====
+  * Read https://docs.docker.com/get-started/docker-overview/ and understand (docker) image, container, daemon, client, hub (registry), pull, push.
+  * Install docker (Linux Mint as example. Information on other OSes are welcome too.)
+    * $ sudo apt install docker.io
+    * Add your username to the "docker" group (or by editing /etc/group directly).
+      * $ sudo usermod -aG docker your_username
+      * Logout & login to make the change of group into effect, or simply reboot your Linux.
+  * Run a ubuntu container (docker client will automatically pull a ubuntu image and create a local container.). If you get a console with command prompt "root@xxxxxxxxxxxx:/," it worked.
+    * $ docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash
+  * Exit the container by exit (notice the prompt changed to "#", showing you are the root)
+    * # exit
+===== Step 2 (if you have an NVidia GPU): Install Nvidia GPU support =====
+  * Follow https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html
+===== Step 3: Install PyTorch (for development) =====
+  * $ docker pull pytorch/pytorch:latest
+  * $ docker run --rm --gpus all pytorch/pytorch:latest python -c "import torch; print(torch.cuda.is_available())"
+  * If you see "True", it worked.
+===== Step 4: Work with PyTorch =====
+  * $ docker run -it --gpus all --rm pytorch/pytorch:latest bash
+  * # nvidia-smi
+  * If you see the use of your GPU, it worked.
