Docker Image Recommendation for YOLOv8 on Jetson Orin Nano

Dear Ultralytics Team,

I am writing to request your guidance regarding the most appropriate Docker image for deploying YOLOv8 on a Jetson Orin Nano device.

Hardware and Software Environment

  • Jetson Orin Nano platform
  • Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
  • JetPack 6.2 (L4T 36.4.3)
  • Docker version 28.0.1
  • ARM64/AArch64 architecture
  • Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 Wide (connected via CSI)

Functional Requirements

I need to implement real-time object detection using YOLOv8n with the following capabilities:

  1. Process video input at 1080p resolution
  2. Convert the YOLOv8n model to TensorRT engine for performance optimization
  3. Achieve optimal inference speed on the Jetson hardware

Information Requested

  1. Which Ultralytics Docker image would you recommend for the specified Jetson environment?
  2. Are there specific configuration parameters that would optimize performance for this hardware and camera setup?
  3. Do you have best practices for YOLOv8n deployment on Jetson platforms with CSI cameras?

There are Ultralytics maintained Dockerfiles. Here’s the one for JetPack 6

Everything was well-explained and clearly documented on the website. My oversight was not taking the extra step to verify which system I have and which Docker image would be compatible with it—likely a junior-level mistake on my part.

Everything is now working smoothly, efficiently, and in a user-friendly manner.

Thank you for your support!

It’s great to hear that everything is working smoothly for you now, Lcod!

We’re pleased that the documentation was helpful. The Ultralytics team and the YOLO community work hard to make the tools accessible and user-friendly.

Happy coding!
