Hi there! I have an old pc that I use as a server (I use Ubuntu Server) and I would like to add a NVIDIA 1050 to it (for jellyfin and guacamole), in the past I tried to do it and somehow I corrupted the system when installing the video drivers, I have always had complications when installing NVIDIA drivers on Linux, could any of you help me know what is the right way to install the video drivers on a headless system and use it correctly with docker compose? Thanks in advance 😄
Once you do get the drivers installed properly as per your OS, here are the steps to give docker access to it: docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/…/install-guide.html
If you are using arch then the whole process can be found on the arch wiki. wiki.archlinux.org/title/docker#Run_GPU_accelerat…

What went wrong last time you tried installing the drivers?
Ubuntu has Nvidia drivers in the official repos: cyberciti.biz/…/ubuntu-linux-install-nvidia-drive…
Nvidia also has a docker image for GPUs: docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/…/install-guide.html

Thanks for the help! I’m trying to install the driver from the official repo but I don’t know what version shoud I use for a headless docker setup with a 1050.
I think that’s what went wrong last time, I tried to install the driver from the NVIDIA documentation thinking that “I’ll just work” just like in windows 😓
