jetson-containers VS container-images

https://github.com/dusty-nv/jetson-containers This one might be helpful

That's the worst solution because you lose CUDA support, if you don't use the NANO's GPU you can use a Rpi4 instead that has a more powerful CPU. Docker is the solution instead, there are ready images for Jetson: https://github.com/dusty-nv/jetson-containers

Finally, if you don't want the full ros2 desktop on the nano (you may struggle with memory anyway) then jetson containers can run foxy etc with your existing jetpack version. https://github.com/dusty-nv/jetson-containers

I had to modify this dockerfile to get pangolin to work, but now it is the ORB_SLAM2_CODA portion that I cannot figure out.

Have you tried looking at some jetson nano docker images? https://github.com/dusty-nv/jetson-containers

Yeah, Nvidia has been very slow to release a 20.04 version, but they have provided a lot of Docker containers just for the Jetson for people to use. Here is the Nvidia dev that works on the project.

There are also pip wheels provided. You can easily install them into your system, even without using containers. Also, look at the l4t-ml Dockerfile, which merges some stuff from several containers, using Docker multi-stage builds.

As far as I can see, the way Google Chrome developers chose to support hardware acceleration under Linux is through Vulkan (here and here) According to Nvidia, there's no official support for Vulkan inside Docker. Although it seems that FAQ hasn't been updated because I was able to find a Docker container with Vulkan support here.

Looking forward to the CUDA containers getting released!

That leaves Flatcar and Clear Linux - both of which happen to at least have documentation for installing/running Nvidia drivers and CUDA. Flatcar has this repository from Nvidia, and I've also found this project called forklift which will supposedly handle auto-updating the kernel modules for you. The Clear Linux docs also seem to include a method to auto-rebuild the modules with kernel upgrades, though it does say that the driver version needs to be updated manually, which honestly almost sounds preferable considering how finicky Nvidia drivers can be on Linux. Clear Linux also has several other tutorials/guides that appear to try and market it for things like machine learning, which leads me to believe that Nvidia gpus would hopefully work decently on it.

To add CUDA I plan on adding the stuff from this Docker script.

You can use the cuda dockerfile as reference: https://gitlab.com/nvidia/container-images/cuda/-/blob/master/Dockerfile

However, getting Nvidia to work was much more complicated. Now, I am not a container expert, so a lot of it was because of my unfamiliarity with the technology. At first, I had to get nvidia-container-toolkit using CentOS package. The test containers given in the instructions here worked fine. However, I soon understood that nvidia-container-toolkit requires basing the image on nvidia official containers or going through this and figure out how to create a custom container. Most documentation online seemed to be about nvidia-docker or just covered the install portion of nvidia-container-toolkit. There was almost nothing available on how to create a custom image. After some digging around and copying and pasting (I still don't understand some of it), I was able to create a container with nvidia-smi, and other cuda commands working.
