Comment on Building my first NAS: Assistance on part selection please
CatLikeLemming@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 days agoOh I didn’t even consider the fact that I might need to pass through the iGPU. Thanks for pointing that out, will double check. Although it’d be very odd if TrueNAS struggled to do that, considering how many people use it and how many of those have some kind of self-hosted streaming service. But of course, always best to check anyways!

Truenas uses KVM for virtual machines. So that will allow GPU passthrough, but may require command line and config files to do it. For docker this seems relevant: forums.truenas.com/t/…/11797

I’m comfortable enough with those, that shouldn’t be an issue then. Thanks for the info!

Be aware if you have the iGPU as the only video output device and passthrough to a VM it will no longer show what the host system is doing. This would be referred to as a headless server. I would suggest making sure you can SSH into the host before doing that. LearnLinuxTV has guides for how to do that with best security practices.
Docker works differently, so it may not be an issue with that.
