Sharp in docker?

[anchenchai]

Hi there,
Can I use the sharp plugin in a docker-based environment? Is there any tutorial about how to setup Sharp in docker? Thanks!

Yes, you can use sharp plugin in docker environment. you don't need any special setup for this. we have removed the requirement for SHARPD daemon on the compute server

From which plugin version we don't need SHARPD daemon any more and does it work for CX6? We still need sharp_am right?

sharpd daemon is removed from SHARP v2.7 (https://docs.nvidia.com/networking/display/SHARPv270) . it will work with CX6. sharp_am on the management server is still required.

@bureddy
Just out of curiosity, you said that we don't need any special setup for docker environments, so does that mean that sharp will work regardless of the container being on a different subnet since docker gets its own subnet when it creates containers without --network host??
Currently im facing this issue in sharp v2.5.
Thank you in advance!

can you share the application log & sharpd log to check the issue?
