Comment on [Ubuntu] [Docker] Need help with Nvidia hardware acceleration in Jellyfin

jia_tan@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

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.

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 renderD128 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.

Edit your docker-compose.yaml and specify this In your Jellyfin block

devices: - /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128

Start your container and enter it to verify the device is accessible.

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

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

On the Jellyfin dashboard go to the hardware acceleration page and follow the notes left by Jellyfin devs.

Man, I have an intel iGPU myself, in a little Dell optiplex 7090 and it was a breeze on my Debian sever. Installed through apt and it’s running as a systemd service. No issues so far. Only one issue I had was when I played a 70GB 4k HDR movie that’s loaded with audio and subs and picture enhancements on my OLED TV. The server’s little fan was screaming and the movie kept pausing every 20 seconds. Other than that I have a ton of other movies and shows and I have no issues.

Huh? I have an ARC A380 and I just followed the tutorial. AFAICT everything’s working fine.
