#### 2. Configure Podman for NVIDIA GPU
208+
209+
```bash
210+
# Configure runtime
211+
sudo nvidia-ctk runtime configure --runtime=podman
212+
sudo systemctl restart podman
213+
214+
# Test GPU access
215+
nvidia-smi
216+
podman run --rm --device nvidia.com/gpu=all nvidia/cuda:12.0-base-ubuntu20.04 nvidia-smi
217+
```
218+
219+
#### 3. Deploy with NVIDIA GPU
220+
221+
```bash
222+
# Auto-detect and use NVIDIA GPU
223+
./quick-start-containers.sh
224+
225+

226+
./quick-start-containers.sh --gpu nvidia
227+
228+
# Check GPU usage
229+
podman exec ollama nvidia-smi
230+
```
231+
232+
### **AMD GPU Setup**
233+
234+
#### 1. Install AMD ROCm
235+
236+
**Fedora/RHEL:**
237+
```bash
238+
# Install ROCm
239+
sudo dnf install rocm-dev rocm-smi
240+
241+
# Add user to render group
242+
sudo usermod -a -G render $USER
243+
244+
# Reboot
245+
sudo reboot
246+
```
247+
248+
**Ubuntu/Debian:**
249+
```bash
250+
# Install ROCm
251+
wget -q -O - https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/rocm.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
252+
echo 'deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian/ ubuntu main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rocm.list
253+
sudo apt update
254+
sudo apt install rocm-dev rocm-smi
255+

284+
285+
### **GPU Troubleshooting**
286+
287+
#### NVIDIA Issues
288+
289+
**Problem**: `nvidia-smi` not found
290+
```bash
291+
# Install drivers
292+
sudo dnf install nvidia-driver nvidia-utils # Fedora
293+
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-535 # Ubuntu
294+
```
295+
296+
**Problem**: Container can't access GPU
297+
```bash
298+
# Reconfigure runtime
299+
sudo nvidia-ctk runtime configure --runtime=podman
300+
sudo systemctl restart podman
301+
```
302+
303+
**Problem**: Out of memory errors
304+
```bash
305+
# Use smaller model
306+
./quick-start-containers.sh -m qwen3:4b
307+
308+
# Or check GPU memory
309+
nvidia-smi
310+
```
311+
312+
#### AMD Issues
313+
314+
**Problem**: No GPU devices found
315+
```bash
316+
# Check devices
317+
ls -la /dev/dri/
318+
# Should show renderD128, renderD129, etc.
319+
320+
# Check permissions
321+
groups $USER
322+
# Should include 'render' group
323+
```
324+
325+
**Problem**: ROCm not detected
326+
```bash
327+
# Install ROCm
328+
sudo dnf install rocm-dev rocm-smi
329+
# or
330+
sudo apt install rocm-dev rocm-smi
331+
```
332+
333+
### **GPU Monitoring**
334+
335+

# Detailed monitoring
343+
podman exec ollama nvidia-smi -l 1
344+
```
345+
346+
**AMD:**
347+
```bash
348+
# Watch GPU usage
349+
watch -n 1 podman exec ollama rocm-smi
350+
351+
# Detailed monitoring
352+
podman exec ollama rocm-smi -d
353+
```
354+
355+
