@Marvin I need to add extra command while prefect running docker. how can I add it with prefect. extra command add is
--gpus all

The search did not surface explicit instructions for how to add the
--gpus all
flag when running Docker through Prefect. However, based on general knowledge about Docker and Prefect, there are a couple of potential ways you might achieve this. 1. DockerRun Task Customization: The DockerRun task could potentially be extended or customized to allow passing additional flags like
--gpus all
. This would involve subclassing the existing DockerRun task and modifying the container creation logic to add additional flags. 2. Kubernetes Deployment: If you're running Prefect on Kubernetes, you could specify node selectors and tolerations to ensure that your flow runs on a Kubernetes node with GPU resources available. Kubernetes supports scheduling of containers requiring GPU resources if you've set up your cluster with GPUs. 3. DaskTaskRunner Resources: Prefect allows you to specify resources for tasks using
DaskTaskRunner
, as indicated in the retrieved excerpt. Using Dask's resources, annotations may offer a way to manage GPU allocation on a per-task basis, although this is not the same as the Docker
--gpus all
flag. A reliable way to solve this would involve customizing the Docker execution environment or interacting directly with the Docker API. However, without native support or a more detailed example in the Prefect documentation or community contributions, it might require a bespoke solution. For now, I recommend reaching out to the Prefect community or checking Prefect's GitHub issues for more advice. If Prefect has introduced a plugin or updated their DockerRun task since my last update, someone in the community or a recent GitHub issue may have more information.
