hi all,
i have plex running in a docker container. no matter what i try, it can’t seem to use my nvidia gpu for transcoding, which is a major inconvenience.
when i run nvidia-smi in or out of the container, i see the following:
as far as i can tell, everything on my system is totally up-to-date. hopefully someone can pull something useful out of the logs. i took a look myself and saw a handful of errors but i didn’t have a good idea of what to do with them.
thanks in advance for your help!
Reading this site, it explains installing the nvidia driver and checking it works with the smi command. Then it says you need to install an “NVIDIA container toolkit”. After that, you need to pass the driver through to the container (I assume you did that too, since you can run the smi in the container), but check the compose in the article to make sure you are following that correctly.
If you did all these steps, then I have nothing more to offer. I barely got my own Plex-Docker running in Ubuntu, following a guide for passing along the Intel CPU driver.
thanks! i’ve gone through a couple different similar guides but i’ll try this one next
yes! going through these steps again got it to work. i think the single missing piece was the NVIDIA environment variables. thank you!
