Intel QSV inside Docker via Proxmox LXC? - hov - 2024-06-24
Hi I was looking for a guide on how to setup Intel Quick Sync Video with Jellyfin via a docker container inside of a proxmox LXC. I couldn't find anything exact to my needs but took pieces from other places and made it work. Yes I did browse the documentation https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/intel
1. Run command inside LXC: getent group render | cut -d: -f3
Resulting for me as 104
2. Edit LXC conf file via proxmox host (mine was nano 200.conf)
2A. Add the following to the end of your LXC conf file:
Code:
dev0: /dev/dri/card1,gid=44
dev1: /dev/dri/renderD128,gid=1043. Match my jellyfin docker-compose to be similar to the example listed in the following link. Specifically include the group_add and devices sections. https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/intel#configure-with-linux-virtualization
4. Update my jellyfin docker container with this new change
5. Run: docker exec -it jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/vainfo
Confirm good
6. Run: docker exec -it jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg -v verbose -init_hw_device vaapi=va -init_hw_device opencl@va
Confirm good
6. Enable Intel QSV in transcode settings and test successfully
Anyways, just wanted to confirm that I'm doing this correctly. The transcode works perfect for H265 files inside a web browser for jellyfin. Just wanted to see if there's anymore more efficient or easier? Thanks

LXCs are definitely more difficult than bare metal or even Docker on bare metal.
But what you did looks right.
What do you mean "more efficient and easier"?

There is a section of the Intel doc for Proxmox LXCs.
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/intel/#lxc-on-proxmox
And another for docker.
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/intel/#official-docker
As for a better way, no.
