SOLVED: Hardware Transcoding

[PapaTrotsky]

well thats at least something new

i am trying to walk backwards on what /should/ have taken place when you installed and so far it's reminding me why im not an nvidia+linux fan
no matter, nobody cares what i am a fan of

---

you installed linuxserver.io docker
did you follow this - https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docke...in/#nvidia
which takes you to installing nvidia-docker - https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker
which takes you to a deprecated page but then you should install the container-toolkit - https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit

so what should have taken place is the install instructions for container-toolkit - https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud...guide.html

is that correct and was the container-toolkit installed (successfully)?

I hate NVIDIA on Linux, the NVIDIA driver on Linux Mint for the 4070 causes my laptop to run stupidly inefficiently. Talking 1/3 the battery life.
The container toolkit does work, I didn't install it because my server doesn't have apt, or yum/dnf, or Zypper but the sample workload works and basic nvidia-smi works correctly.

Code:

I did also follow the LSIO guide, I believe I did that part correctly but it's hard to tell because unRaid uses a GUI for that part which makes it really confusing. I attached a few photos with pictures of my variables setup.
