Hi,

Attempting to deploy a model to my laptop with NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation GPU. Having trouble at command:

> inference server start

```auto
> inference server start
GPU detected. Using a GPU image.
Pulling image: roboflow/roboflow-inference-server-gpu:latest

500 Server Error for http+docker://localnpipe/v1.46/images/create?tag=latest&fromImage=roboflow%2Froboflow-inference-server-gpu: Internal Server Error ("Head "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/r*strong text*oboflow/roboflow-inference-server-gpu/manifests/latest": unauthorized: incorrect username or password")

```

The AI bot says I need to install nvidia docker runtime? It looks like this is some kind of password issue? Any help most appreciated

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this error. Looks like maybe your Docker environment on that machine is messed up.

Does the CUDA sample container work?

```auto
sudo docker run --rm --runtime=nvidia --gpus all ubuntu nvidia-smi

```

Thanks
