Im stuck at step 7

Whatever is needed is available on community apps , thats the blessing but there is no good tutorial for non tech people like me as how to install docker containers from outside.

No the app I want to use doesn’t have any docker image or docker container in unraid community apps , but on github it does have a docker compose yml file but I don’t know how to install it , also there is no active support from the repo admin. https://github.com/CatchTheTornado/pdf-extract-api im a med student i have multiple handwritten note books which i want to OCR but there are no good OCR apps on community apps so i want to install the above github repo OCR tool but i dont know how to , only way im seeing is LXC container with GpU support because docker im not following it.

How do I know if i have all the dependencies installed ?

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Can anyone give me guidance on passing nvidia gpu to the LXC container, i tried to follow the pinned post but it is too complex and not easy to understand for me , need a stepwise tutorial in simple language. thanks

What does aspm helper do ?

Initially i was planning to do it on VM but i have only one GPU in my system ( no igpu) , and its used by unraid and dockers and if I start the VM with gpu without vfio bind and reboot everything crashes… there is no way the gpu can switch from dockers to vm .. so i am thinking of using LXC container for the same

I plan to use the lxc container to run AI apps and OCR apps which require gpu and having a webui would have been more helpful

Does the ubuntu lxc container have webUi ? If not which lxc container have webui

I have docker containers using gpu so if i turn on lxc linux container with gpu support will the gpu automatically switch to lxc container or it will cause crash ?

I also have Lxc container , but im not getting how to use gpu in that

Debian bookworm can this container use nvidia gpu ?

What does aspm helper do , please explain in simple words

Could you please guide as how you were doing it ? I plan to use your way until media cache plugin is released

When is media cache plugin expected to be released?

Yes , your right

Is there any guide for using unraid headless ? If that’s possible i can use my dgpu in docker as well as vm with your plugin by switching

Is there any way to make unraid webui not use the primary dgpu so its free for both docker and vm ?

Update : I found out that this plugin will only work for vm docker switching if there is already an igpu or some other dgpu acting as primary gpu for unraid , if we are using same dgpu for unraid and vm even if its vfio unbound the plugin wont work and system will crash … so igpu or some other primary dgpu is mandatory.

Currently the dGPU is vfio unbounded/ unticked but if i stop the docker containers using the dGPU manually and then when i start the Vm with gpu passthrough it all crashes like it did now.

My mistake , i apologise for the confusion , the corrected setup is as follows I don’t have any igpu , on my setup bind vfio = makes dgpu unavailable for unraid , dockers even nvidia plugin doesn’t recognise it because gpu is detached from unraid , its free and only can be passthrough for VM and only VM. Unbind vfio = the dgpu becomes available for unraid and dockers and can be used by unraid and dockers and not by VM . If i start vm it all crashes . Unbind vfio dgpu is used only by dockers and unraid and cannot be used by VMs

What in hoping for is that if i untick vfio bind ( unbind the dgpu and make it free) , than it should be used by both vm and docker not both at once but by switching with each other with help of your plugin .

I don’t have any igpu , on my setup unbind vfio = makes dgpu unavailable for unraid , dockers even nvidia plugin doesn’t recognise it because gpu is detached from unraid , its free and only can be passthrough for VM and only VM. bind vfio = the dgpu becomes available for unraid and dockers and can be used by unraid and dockers and not by VM . If i start vm it all crashes .

If its unticked only VM can use it , the docker cannot use the dgpu because they cannot see the dgpu even if vm is not using the gpu , the vfio unbound gpu can be used only by VMs
