    Thanks for the reply David.

    I can't see from your screenshots if you have the --runtime=nvidia set. To be honest I wouldn't know where to put it in portainer, without looking it up.

    When setting up the container there is a runtime tab (screenshot) I'm guessing this is where I put it but it also defaults to NVIDIA, I'm guessing since I edited the daemon.json file.

    Did you read up on the docher hub entry for plex?

    Yeah, I have referred to it seems like I have everything covered. It just doesn't seem to work. Must be missing something.


    Maybe I'll try create the container from commandline

  • PLEX Hardware Transcoding (HW) Docker container NVIDIA OMV5

    Hi All,


    First time poster, i usually try my hardest to fix thing myself exhausting all options but this time i'm stumped.


    So after much googling and headache i managed to install the NVIDIA Drivers and i believe all is working but it doesnt seem the Nvidia GPU is being passed through to PLEX.

    PLEX transcodes fine on the CPU. i follwed this thread How to setup Nvidia in Plex docker for hardware transcoding which thanks to tama777 was very helpful.


    If someone could review my setup and let me know of some things to check it would be greatly appreciated.


    My install: OMV5 Linux Anton.local 5.6.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.6.14-2~bpo10+1 (2020-06-09) x86_64

    Command: docker run --gpus all nvidia/cuda:10.0-base nvidia-smi works i think.

    PLEX Container details. Runtime=nvidia by default as i have edited nano /etc/docker/daemon.json
