Unraid / Docker

[Norrox]

Hello!
Is this something we can use with UnRaid / Docker ?

It's not tested, but most likely this patch can be used with any Linux system, where Nvidia Driver can be installed. Speaking of Docker, you probably will have to patch driver on a host system.

So, it worth trying.

Can this help?

Ok, i have PLEX Inc docker working on Unraid 6.7.0-rc3 with Unraid-Nvidia Plugin mentionned above. I also create a script to enable NVDEC on PLEX since it's not yet supported (found on PLEX forum). Now, I would like to patch, but I got this error

./patch.sh Detected nvidia driver version: 410.78 d244655474572t252462463462 /opt/nvidia/libnvidia-encode-backup/libnvidia-encode.so.410.78 ./patch.sh : line 120: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvidia-encode.so.410.78: Read-Only File system

@pducharme It looks like patch.sh successfully made backup before library edit, but failed to apply changes because /usr filesystem is read-only. I'm not familiar with docker, but I think if /usr actually belong to host system (on top which docker is runned), you should run patch on host. If /usr belongs to immutable docker image, you have to edit image or create overlay.

In other words, you have to make /usr writable.

But there is always another option:

1. Modify script a little, get patched library at some new location where creating files possible.
2. Use mount --bind inside container to overlap it over according file in /usr. Probably there is docker-way to make such mount persistent or use /etc/fstab

I know this response pretty vague, but I have no unraid/docker instance and can only guess.

@pducharme did you run this command on a container or on the host?

Did you try to do it inside the nvidia-plugin container? I think it should work there.

They does not want us to ask questions on the forum that can trigger nvidia to shutdown their driver plugin, so I guess we have to continue the discussion here :-)

It worked when I ran it on the host. Confirmed with 5 concurrent transcode on my Plex server 😀

That's the exact same plugin? Right? :)
