nvidia repositories are hard coded

I believe these are the hard-coded repos/keys that need to be fixed: https://github.com/charmed-kubernetes/charm-containerd/blob/40e134d44c3b9bbb62c6c06d4703a051b2c5f75f/reactive/containerd.py#L356-L385

Attached is the solution Narinder used to solve this problem.

Is there a plan to incorporate this patch into the charm?

I'm doing another offline deployment for a customer that requires drivers from nvidia for gpu integration.

Subscribing field-medium as this impacts customer deployments.

The patch attached above is not quite enough. Need to add a couple of variables to the config.yaml. Also, I had to update the hard-coded packages as the versions in the package names have advanced. Specifically, the packages in the patch are:

NVIDIA_PACKAGES = [
    'cuda-drivers',
    'nvidia-container-runtime',
    'nvidia-fabricmanager-460',
    'nvidia-utils-460',
    'linux-modules-nvidia-460-generic',
]

And cuda-drivers, which appears to be a pseudo package that points to cuda-drivers-470 but the latest linux-modules-nvidia package is linux-modules-nvidia-465-generic so you get dependency conflicts. I had to update it to:

NVIDIA_PACKAGES = [
    'cuda-drivers-465',
    'nvidia-container-runtime',
    'nvidia-fabricmanager-465',
    'nvidia-utils-465',
    'linux-modules-nvidia-465-generic',
]

The way nvidia includes the software version in the package name seems to make it cumbersome to keep this up-to-date. There's got to be an automated way to determine the latest packages to install.

option option would be make package list as part of config option might help.

For clarity, I started with the patch but had to add some config.yaml changes and update the nvidia packages. Here's the patch I'm using: https://api.jujucharms.com/charmstore/v5/~fe-staging/containerd-5/archive/bug-1915361.patch

Subscribing field-high as this is blocking support handover for a customer deployment.
