Not able to run a NVIDIA docker container using gpus and without sudo

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to run this image ultralytics/yolov5:v7.0 that use an NVIDIA image. I want to run it without sudo permission, but with my user permission.

So when I try the commande using sudo, it works :

(base) mc@Lenovo-Ubuntu:~$ sudo docker run --ipc=host -it --gpus all ultralytics/yolov5:v7.0 nvidia-smi

Without sudo permission
BUT when I run it without the sudo permission, I get the following error:

(base) mc@Lenovo-Ubuntu:~$ docker run --ipc=host -it --gpus all ultralytics/yolov5:v7.0 nvidia-smi
