By name: nvidia description: | NVIDIA GPU base image with runtime support and CUDA toolkit on Fedora. Base for all GPU-accelerated boxes (python-ml, jupyter, ollama, comfyui). MUST be invoked before building, deploying, configuring, or troubleshooting the nvidia box.
nvidia
NVIDIA GPU base image — provides GPU runtime (driver libs, CDI toolkit) and CUDA development toolkit on Fedora.
The nvidia and cuda candies are multi-distro (Fedora rpm + Arch pac), so a
CachyOS GPU base exists alongside this Fedora nvidia box: cachyos.nvidia
(cachyos + agent-forwarding + nvidia + cuda) in the overthinkos/cachyos
submodule. The two are siblings — pick the Fedora nvidia box for the
RPM-based GPU stack, cachyos.nvidia for the Arch/CachyOS GPU stack. See
/charly-distros:cachyos.
Box Properties
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Base | fedora-nonfree (fedora + RPM Fusion) |
| Layers | agent-forwarding, nvidia, cuda |
| Platforms | linux/amd64 |
| Registry | ghcr.io/overthinkos |
Full Candy Stack
fedora-nonfree(fedora + rpmfusion — provides RPM Fusion free + nonfree repos)nvidia— GPU runtime: driver libs, nvidia-container-toolkit (CDI), VA-APIcuda— CUDA toolkit, cuDNN, onnxruntime, ffmpeg-libs
Quick Start
The nvidia box lives in the overthinkos/fedora submodule (box/fedora):
charly -C box/fedora box build nvidia
charly shell nvidia
Key Candies
/charly-distros:nvidia— NVIDIA GPU runtime (driver libs, CDI generation via nvidia-ctk)/charly-distros:cuda— CUDA toolkit and GPU development libraries
Derived Boxes
/charly-languages:python-ml— ML Python environment/charly-jupyter:jupyter— Jupyter notebook server/charly-ollama:ollama— LLM inference server/charly-comfyui:comfyui— image generation UI

Verification
After charly box build:
charly shell nvidia -c "nvidia-smi"— GPU infocharly shell nvidia -c "nvidia-ctk --version"— CDI toolkitcharly shell nvidia -c "nvcc --version"— CUDA compiler
When to Use This Skill
MUST be invoked when the task involves the nvidia box, GPU base images, CUDA in containers, or CDI device configuration. Invoke this skill BEFORE reading source code or launching Explore agents.
