hardware acceleration for windows docker

[iwishiknewmore]

I've found some GPU "wrapper" options, but it is unclear if they allow the media engines to be passed through or if these are only compute/graphics.

IMO, it is probably easier to just install Jellyfin and your other apps directly on Windows.  If you are familiar with Linux, install Ubuntu/Debian and run Jellyfin in docker.

Thanks for the reply, i would preferably not install directly on windows, the reason being i like the convenience of remote management with docker/portainer and the fact that things are easier to troubleshoot. alternatively i should maybe use an ubuntu server? because i would like to have my media server run on my main pc, while also being able to use it as a normal pc. so a dual boot option wont work as only one can be active at the same time

The only way to use HWA with virtualization (Docker/WSL2) on Windows is to use NVENC/CUDA, which is officially supported by NVIDIA. For other vendors you have to run on the host.

okay, thanks! id like to stock with an all AMD build, its much better price/performance here so i suppose ill have to either run it on windows or use linux
