quorn23 6 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Feedback for someone, that might looking for it Tested the posting from karlshea https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/76937-docker-hwa-nvidia-instructions/&do=findComment&comment=1148425 on an up to date Debian 11 instance with a 1080TI and the Linuxserver image. Following the nvidia-container-toolkit installation from the nvidia link and then using the current way, which is still the official way described in the docker docs https://docs.docker.com/compose/gpu-support/ Works like a charm, hassle free. Prior to this i made sure my gpu is working properly with debian 11, following this guide: Install Nvidia Drivers on Debian 11 Bullseye Thanks Karl for the post, mainly writing this reply in case someone with a similar setup is guessing which of the many ways posted here works with Debian 11 today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isamudaison 6 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Just a note in case anyone was encountering the same issue I was with the nvidia device randomly becoming 'unavailable' inside the docker container; They've gotten to the bottom of it and have posted this: https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker/issues/1730 I've employed one of the suggested workarounds and so far it seems solid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hispeed 8 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) @D34DC3N73R and @cypher0117 I have the exact same problem and have spent hours in it. Have look at: https://gitlab.com/nvidia/container-toolkit/container-toolkit/-/issues/9 How can I install on Debian 11? libnvidia-decode-418-server libnvidia-encode-418-server I will probably set up an Ubuntu Machine with Docker and set up emby in the container. With that I can 100% confirm this. Yes i'm the first and only one who is using Debian as Docker host and uses HW AC in the world, yeaah! I already can confirm that emby is working on Debian 11 on a VM and HW AC is working, but inside a Docker i don't see the card same as cypher0117 didn't see it. Nividia-smi works in a container without any problem. Edited April 12, 2023 by hispeed Added more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypher0117 4 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 5 hours ago, hispeed said: How can I install on Debian 11? libnvidia-decode-418-server libnvidia-encode-418-server installing those should be simply: sudo apt install libnvidia-decode-418-server libnvidia-encode-418-server As far as your hw log in Emby, mine still shows that it can't open the DRM device. After installing the encode/decode libraries and restarting the Emby container I was then able to select options in the emby transcode menu even though the hw log shows drm device issues. After selecting options in the emby transcode menu, the emby container will hw transcode when needed, again even though there are errors in the hw log.

hispeed 8 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 @cypher0117 Ok if it's only a log entry that would be fine for me. Unfortunately when i try to install with your command the packages it tells me that they are not available. I use Debian 11 and I searched for this package and i only found it for Ubuntu. It's a really mess with those drivers on linus and commands. Old, new commands are mixed and the same with tutorials and manuals or forum posts.

It's a really mess with those drivers on linus and commands. Old, new commands are mixed and the same with tutorials and manuals or forum posts. That gpg key and repository are for ubuntu, they won't help you much on Debian. TL;DR you might only need the proper syntax to enable the GPU at the bottom of my post. sudo apt-get -s purge 'nvidia-*' Then do a sudo update-initramfs -u After that (or on a clean install) sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and change the line deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main so it looks like deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free Ctrl +x to save, hit Y for yes Now install the Debian 11 driver: sudo apt update sudo apt -y install nvidia-driver firmware-misc-nonfree sudo shutdown -r now You might get a screen that nouveau is enabled and that you need to reboot, which we gonna do anyways, last command will make your instance reboot. Once rebooted and back logged in give nvidia-smi a try. If that works, proceed with enabling nivida for docker, see the link to the post ^ on top of this site, the tl;dr for this is: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-container-toolkit sudo nvidia-ctk runtime configure --runtime=docker sudo systemctl restart docker Finally proceed with adding your gpu properly. ie. deploy: resources: reservations: devices: - driver: nvidia count: 1 capabilities: [gpu] Docker-compose up and voila. Side note: If nvidia-smi doesn't show your card, it might be related to secure boot, have a read here https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Debian_11_.22Bullseye.22 I had the issue on proxmox as the vm bios had it enabled, i ended up disabling secure boot for the vm as i don't need it, but mentioning it in case someone struggles. (Both, barebone and proxmox vm, tested with lscr.io/linuxserver/emby:latest) Edited April 25, 2023 by quorn23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quorn23 6 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Not sure why i can't edit my post anymore @Luke The enabling nvidia for docker part is missing a piece. Should be replaced with: distribution=$(. /etc/os-release;echo $ID$VERSION_ID) \ && curl -fsSL https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/gpgkey | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-container-toolkit-keyring.gpg \ && curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/$distribution/libnvidia-container.list | \ sed 's#deb https://#deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-container-toolkit-keyring.gpg] https://#g' | \ sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-container-toolkit.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-container-toolkit sudo nvidia-ctk runtime configure --runtime=docker sudo systemctl restart docker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hispeed 8 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Hi @quorn23 and @Luke@softworkz I can confirm the steps from quorn23 from post fixed my problem. I recommend to everyone to comment out for the installation every other repository which is activated. It has something to do with the driver and I had the wrong one. First i didn't enter my emby premiere key for tests and now see at the end it works perfectly. I have a NVIDIA Quadro P2000 (Dell Version) in a HP DL380 G9 Server and I use ESXI V.7.X on latest Debian as VM with Docker CE and Portainer. Happy weekend after hours spending on this topic I got it working. No stocking of the movies and you can even play it through a openvpn if you have enough UL/DL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seion 0 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I am not able to get it to use Hardware Transcoding. Every time I play a video that is transcoding, its using cpu I made sure I did all of the steps above that quorn23 posted above. In Emby it can see my card I had this when I ran docker compose deploy: resources: reservations: devices: - driver: nvidia count: 1 capabilities: [gpu] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
