Issue with the set up of my Intel A380 - MegaThorx - 2024-03-06

If I run the vainfo within the container it fails with the following error message.

[Image: direct]


My setup is like the following:

Proxmox <=> Ubuntu VM <=> Jellyfin container

After plugging GPU into the server I enabled rebar and passed the device through to the VM. Within the VM I installed the drivers following the guide by Intel (https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/driver/installation.html#ubuntu-install-steps) (https://ass.merx.dev/bronze-cheap-coral/direct). After that I verified that it is working within the VM by running vainfo (https://ass.merx.dev/phony-secondhand-cuttlefish/direct). Then I adjusted the docker compose file with the device (https://ass.merx.dev/crooked-bisque-hartebeest/direct).

I'm not sure if the step of installing the drivers on the VM is correct, but without them it won't show the /dev/dri/renderD128 device.

Double check your proxmox config with our docs here.

You also need to install all the Intel drivers and media drivers on Proxmox.

Uninstalling the driver on the VM and passing /dev/dri to the container resolved the issue. But I'm now considering a different setup in which I'm running jellyfin and tdarr directly on the VM, which should allow me to transcode my library and transcode the streams as needed.

@TheDreadPirate I'm not running the container on the proxmox host. The container is running within the VM which runs on Proxmox.
