After being once again frustrated by the CUDA installation experience, I thought that I should give those containers a try. Unfortunately, my computer did not boot anymore after following the installation instructions for the NVIDIA container toolkit as outlined on the NVIDIA website. Reinstalling everything and following the instructions from some random blog post made it work, but I then found that the container with the CUDA version that I needed had been deprecated.

There were other problems, such as the research cluster of my university not having Docker, but that is a different issue.
