NVIDIA Container Toolkit

Hi everyone!

I've been trying to run LE on my RockPi 4b+, but the HDMI audio problem on that hardware has got me stuck.

The alternative for me, short of spending money I don't have, will be to run LibreELEC as the OS on my media server.

I'm trialling that now, and it leads me to a very deeply cursed question:

Has anyone here tried to run the NVIDIA Container Toolkit on LE?

NVIDIA publish the source to it here:

GitHub - NVIDIA/libnvidia-container: NVIDIA container runtime library

NVIDIA container runtime library. Contribute to NVIDIA/libnvidia-container development by creating an account on GitHub.

...but they are only currently working towards the platforms they package for.

If I can install the bloody thing on LE then I can stand up my Jellyfin stack on the same machine as the client. All the other pieces are already there.

Anyone?

Sorry, you're absolutely right.

I have a Servarr stack with Jellyfin which I'm using with Kodi.

It runs in docker on an old PC, using an elderly NVIDIA GPU for transcoding.

I was trying to use my RockPi as the TV-end of this arrangement- it talks CEC and is generally a better fit- but I can't get viable audio out of it with LE, and nobody else makes a recent distro that will even boot properly on a 4b+ anymore, not even armbian.

I saw that Kodi isn't being properly packaged anymore, so I installed LibreELEC on the old PC, installed the Docker add-on, and ran up my Servarr stack on it.

The only missing piece now is the ability for the Jellyfin container to access the GPU.

The NVIDIA container toolkit is the glue that lets docker containers use the GPU for things other than drawing on the screen.
