Docker Emby on Debian host which is VM on Esxi 7.x

[hispeed 9]

Hi

I'm currently in the process for my new setup. This new setup is like this:

Host: Esxi 7.X
VM: Debian as Docker Host System
-> on this Debian host system the volumes are mounted (local and remote)
Container: Emby

This is as far as i know not a problem but now it gets more complicated.

Now I think about to buy an additional HP Riser card and add there a radeon-pro-wx5100.

Question:
Does anybody has done a setup like this?
Does the hardware Accelaration work?
Does anyone has an example docker stack / compose file (configuration)?

Thank you for your ideas and feedback.

Hi, this user may have some tips on that card:

Hi @Luke

I see I read also a lot and for me it looks like AMD GPU's are not really well supported in general. Probably I should take a Nvidia GPU like Quadro P2000.

Do you have any recommendations concering the Emby Docker Stack/Compose file?
This is just a draft and never tested.

Question: Can I set a fix IP-Adress and does Emby start?

Regarding Nvidia, have you taken a look at this?

 

[hispeed 9]

Hi @Luke

Yes and it's probably much better if I take a NVIDIA card. Right now I'm looking into a P2000 Quadro card. As soon as I have it I can give some updates.

[Luke 42077]

Let us know how you get on. Thanks.

[hispeed 9]

@Luke

So far I can give a first update:

I have installed on a Ubuntu VM machine the nvidia driver sucessfully using this tutorial (https://forum.openmediavault.org/index.php?thread/38013-howto-nvidia-hardware-transcoding-on-omv-5-in-a-plex-docker-container/#codeLine_3_com_woltlab_wbb_post_313378_432646)

I can also confirm that a Quadro P2000 looks so far good concering my plan to recieve hardware encoding in docker. This is a HP DL380 G9 and I'm not using an original HP part. So the GPU is not HP labeled but the numbers are very close.

Here is a first image, until now it has nothing to do with docker and Emby.

@Luke

So i'm getting closer to the solution but something is not correct so I don't see the hardware in emby.

Do you have an idea concerning: "failed to open the drm device /dev/dri/renderD128"?
@softworkz
Maybe you can give me a hint?

I can't add: - /dev/dri/renderD129:/dev/dri/renderD129 <- in the device section then I get an error.

Here are both logs after a restart.

removed...

I didn't notice you already had - /dev/dri which would include all video devices.

[Q-Droid 989]

On the Deb host, what do you get from:

ls -l /dev/dri

@Q-Droid

I get this output:

Have you verified that GIDs 44 and 106 correspond with the video and render groups?

getent group video

getent group render

 

[hispeed 9]

@Q-Droid

Yes but now i see something

In the render group there is no user added?

video:x:44:root,dockeruser

render:x:106: -> here is no user?

I added the user tho those groups but no change and i made a reboot.

And you did complete the nvidia-docker toolkit installation on your Debian host? Something might still be missing but I can't tell what that is.

[hispeed 9]

Hmm as far as I know yes everything is installed. Yes the nvidia-docker-toolkit ist also installed.

I think it's more a permission issue. I use docker in Rootless mode maybe this is also an issue, but why does the hardware detection sees the gpu card?

Let's see what Luke and Softworkz are writing and I wrote a mail to the Nvidia developer maybe I get from him also a answer or help.

Are you able to try installing the native debian package as a test to see how that compares?

[hispeed 9]

@Luke
Do you mean a container with debian and then test it? Do you have a manual or short description how to that? 

I tried this but to get the container running is not so easy.

[Q-Droid 989]

I think @Luke means to install the Emby package directly on the Debian VM, not as a container.

 

[hispeed 9]

@Luke and @Q-Droid

Ah ok yes this is possible but it's a lot of time because after that I would need to restore the whole docker host. I don't want to install something directly on the host. So I would prefer to do that as last option.

I think I got a little bit further with my problem.

I found this thread: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/7768/hardware-transcoding-is-not-working and there he wrote about a permission issue. So I have now a different error.

I gave different permissions to: crw-rw-rw- 1 root render 226, 128 15. Okt 09:30 /dev/dri/renderD128 and crw-rw-rw- 1 root render 226, 128 15. Okt 09:30 /dev/dri/renderD129

I used: sudo chmod a+rw /dev/dri/renderD128 and restarted then my docker rootless (no reboot). If i do a reboot the CHMOD is lost because the folder is probably recreated at boot.

I have attached my actual log. The error i recieve now is: "Message": "Failed to initialize VA /dev/dri/renderD128. Error -1"

@Luke

I let the devil queen out there.... 

I copied my whole VM and added it on the ESXI Host as a copy. I only installed emby on this second docker host. This looks good but in the container it doesn't work.

So it has something to do with my docker settings.

What exactly is the problem with this?

[hispeed 9]

@Luke
With this, there is no problem. This only to proof that the problem only exists within the docker container. Outside of the container on a virtualized system on a esxi 7.X it's working fine.

My question is then, any recomendation concerning the docker compose template or so?

[Luke 42077]

It means you'll need to configure the docker container sufficiently so that emby server can see the GPU. How to do that though is going to be specific to your environment.
