It is not official, but you can change the distribution variable on the instruction page into ubuntu20.04, like this:

distribution='ubuntu20.04' \
   && curl -s -L  | sudo apt-key add - \
   && curl -s -L  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-docker.list

The rest is the same:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-docker2
sudo systemctl restart docker

Then, you can check your installation:

sudo docker run --rm --gpus all nvidia/cuda:11.0-base nvidia-smi

Should return something like this:

N.B. I just need to use nvidia-docker to do some deep learning with tensorflow, and the solution I gave above has no problem for training and inferencing.
