Hi @pieterc ,
I move this post to Jetson AGX Xavier, since most of your Jetson activity seems to happen there.
May I kindly ask you to try and stay in the correct categories for your requests?
The Jetson-inference - docker issues post is also not in the correct category but should rather be in a Jetson specific category.
By trying to keep it in context the chances are that much higher that you will receive help. Also, if people have looked at your issues they might have prior knowledge. Posting in vastly different categories means whoever looks at it needs to start from scratch.
Thanks!

Hi,
Just want to double-check.
Do you want to run the jetson-container command within a container or natively?
Thanks.

Hi,
Do you log in to the device with root?
If yes, will you use another username after?
In general, you can clone jetson-container with the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/dusty-nv/jetson-containers
bash jetson-containers/install.sh
(Please select a folder with write permission.)
Then the jetson-containers run should work as expected.
Thanks.
