At a loss about Hardware Acceleration

[Antonbp5]

Hello All. It is me again.

So I tried to take a crack at Hardware Acceleration again, and I am at a complete loss. I'll admit that I am very new to the whole NAS thing, but I feel that there isn't much help to get. That is why I am coming to you guys.

I am trying to set it up on a asustor nas, which has a quick sync compatible cpu, and I have downloaded jellyfin in a docker, but straight from the app center.


I am following this video, as it seems that it has gotten a good response:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud0hDpWJb3U    but I am cracking under 2 things.

The getent group render | cut -d: -f3 command just does not work. I have tried with video and input instead of render but that doesn't seem to work.
I tried to run: less /etc/group, where I get these groups

root:x:0:
users:xadmin
avahi:x:200:
netdev:x:201:
chhome:x:998:
administrators:x:999:MyAdminAccount,admin
nogroup:x:65534:
audio:x:203:
as-webserver:x:300:

And I still can't find any group called, video, Input, or Render.

I wanted to see how far I could go, and I get to 4:45 in the video, where he edits a jellyfin file. He uses openmediavault to do this, but I have never heard about it, nor do I know where I can do a thing like that on my NAS. So I am at a complete loss.

Even then, if I get it up and running, I am not sure if it will even be enough, and that perhaps I just need a better and faster NAS.

Any help would be appreciated

Did pass the GPU into the container?

the noted section you cannot follow at 4:45 is a gui frontend provied by "open media vault" which is a different NAS OS than ASUSStor uses
the operation being performed is the same as this https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/instal...er-compose at that point

the questions are
how have you setup the docker container in asus stor and is there a frontend
how can you edit the compose file or container config

---

the lack of groups expected is also due to applying instructions for a different OS, simply means those groups are not setup or used on ASUS

Did pass the GPU into the container?

I have no idea and I doubt it. I simply just downloaded jellyfin from the app central, and started making libraries and trying out plugins.

Would you have any documentation on how to do that?

Many Thanks!

[tmsrxzar]

do you have _any_ experience with docker?

do you have _any_ experience with docker?

More or less no.

We have documentation for DOCKER, but we don't have any for Asustor. Somewhere in your GUI for Asustor there should be some config to add a GPU to the jellyfin container.

I did some looking around, and it seems like there should be an option to turn on some media mode, which also enables the iGPU. Though I cannot find that in my server. I will have to contact Asustor about it, as there is nothing on the web about it. I will be back.
