Does anyone have a compose.yaml for an Nvidia GPU that works that they would like to share? Here’s my current file, it gives a white screen with “server error” on it: https://pastebin.com/AaV17cTz

I went through Jellyfin’s instructions on setting a GPU up, but the instructions weren’t clear (in my opinion) so who knows if it’s correct. I installed some Nvidia tools as a prerequisite and ‘nvidia-smi’ shows the card. I attached my Jellyfin settings from before it self-destructed according to Nvidia’s transcoding matrix (which also wasn’t descriptive enough in my opinion), do they look right for a 2080?

Update: after making this post, and changing nothing, it suddenly works

    I have an intel igpu. It was hella painful to pass through the guy into a normal container and I never figured it out. I just ended up running the container with the —privileged flag. QuickSync hwaccel works fine now, I assume it would be the same for NVENC, since the flag basically just passes everything to the container.

      Jellyfin isn’t the most secure piece of software out there, I would avoid giving it permissions it doesn’t need.

      Step 1) Check /dev/dri for the GPU

      user@debian:~/compose$ ls /dev/dri
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root        120 Jan 25 11:50 .
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root       3360 Feb 11 03:03 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root        100 Jan 25 11:50 by-path
crw-rw----  1 root video  226,   0 Jan 25 11:50 card0
crw-rw----  1 root video  226,   1 Jan 25 16:39 card1
crw-rw----  1 root render 226, 128 Jan 25 11:50 renderD128

      Documentation indicates renderDXXX typically refers to Intel GPU’s

      Make sure at least one renderD* device exists in /dev/dri. Otherwise upgrade your kernel or enable the iGPU in the BIOS.

      1. Edit your docker-compose.yaml and add this In your Jellyfin block
      devices:
 - /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128
      1. Start your container and enter it to verify the device is recognized.

      sudo docker compose up -d; sudo docker exec -it jellyfin bash

      Once inside ls /dev/dri to confirm the GPU is recognized inside the container, once you confirm it then you can exit the container.

      user@debian:~/compose$ sudo docker exec -it jellyfin bash
I have no name!@jellyfin:/$ ls /dev/dri
renderD128
I have no name!@jellyfin:/$ exit
exit
user@debian:~/compose$
      1. On the Jellyfin dashboard go to the hardware acceleration page and follow the notes left by Jellyfin devs.
