### Enable Nvidia GPUs
To use Nvidia GPUs with docker you need to install the nvidia-cuda-toolkit.

### Find the Container and the Mounting Point of a Volume
Sometimes it is unclear which container a volume belongs to.
This is especially the case if the volume was created automatically and not manually or explicitly
during the setup.
The following command will output the container a volume with the name `<volume-name>` belongs to.
```sh
docker ps -a --filter volume=<volume_name>
```
Additionally, the mounting point is also of interest.
To display it, run the following command where `<container-name>` is the name of the container the
volume belongs to.
```sh
docker inspect <container-name>
```
