TLDR
working config recipe for Ubuntu VM with Nvidia Pascal GPU on TNC 13.0-U2
config is VERY version dependent on underlying components' versions
recipe is for docker'ing with jellyfin.
works just fine running emby at the OS level (no docker - stopped after step 15 and installed emby).
a little longer
I just received my parts to begin building a standalone emby box and was thinking of using TN Scale and so I refreshed my search on pass-through gpu's and came up with this article.
I can confirm it works as stated as far as just running emby on the OS . I'm more interested in getting this working for home use rather than figuring out what other distro and drive combinations might work. I'm also not an expert with bhyve nor gpu pass through.
Host tested with TNC 13.0-U3 - works fine.
HW tested using P400 and P620 - works fine.
Guest tested on Ubuntu 22.0.4 - but no dice on getting nvidia drivers to compile. I did not go further.
Guest tested on Rocky 8.6 as I'm more familiar with CentOS. Kernel panics with pci devices passed through
future steps
Testing with Nvidia P2000 - I expect this to also just work like the P400 and P620
edit - should not be a surprise
Quadro P2000 check
Tesla P4 check
Guide: NVidia Quadro P400 GPU Passthrough to VM and Docker for Jellyfin Transcoding
I recently obtained a new box for my TrueNAS CORE server with hardware that supports PCI-E passthrough. I then spent hours troubleshooting the various barriers to successfully utilizing a NVidia Quadro P400 graphics card for Jellyfin transcoding via Docker running in an Ubuntu VM. I've put...
