Hi Anton,

We have never tried to use IB with docker containers. That being said, I am not aware of any issue that would prevent this from working as long as the IB interface can be accessed by the container.

As a first basic test, you could follow the instructions in the docker section (https://daos-stack.github.io/admin/installation/#daos-in-docker) and apply the following patch to the yaml config file to switch to ib (please adjust fabric_iface with the IB interface you want to use):

diff --git a/utils/config/examples/daos_server_local.yml b/utils/config/examples/daos_server_local.yml

index 21b3943..e26b490 100644

And see whether you can start & format the server as specified in the doc.

Hi everyone! 

Is there opportunity to use infiniband interface inside docker container and launch daos_server? 

Is there any examples? 

Thank you!
