Openvino does not detect Intel GPU in Ubuntu Docker

Question

I am pretty new to this Openvino and Intel GPU world, I have pulled openvino/openvino_tensorflow_ubuntu18_runtime:2.0.0 docker image and when I run the OpenVINO_TensorFlow_classification_example.ipynb it only sees "CPU" when listing backends.

However, when running lspci -nn -s 0:002.0 inside the docker container it outputs:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0412] (rev 06)

I have tried to run a simpler python script to only print the openvino backends but I keep getting only the CPU backend.

What am I missing here? Is my iGPU not compatible with OpenVino? Am I missing some driver or some kind of configuration?

My native OS is Debian11.

EDIT:

Indeed I ran the docker container with the iGPU command in the image documentation as Peh_Intel suggests. However, I keep getting only the CPU backend. There is an screenshot of terminal and jupyter notebook outputs below.

GPU is not available in the container by default. Attach it to the container.

Launch the Jupyter server with iGPU access:

docker run -it --rm \

  -p 8888:8888 \

  --device-cgroup-rule='c 189:* rmw' \

  --device /dev/dri:/dev/dri \

  openvino/openvino_tensorflow_ubuntu18_runtime:2.0.0
