[Using Nvidia GPU in several docker containers]

Yup.  I currently share my gpu between multiple dockers (emby and deepstack).

 

The only thing you can't do is share it between dockers and a VM.  Once its passed through to a VM its "owned" by the VM.

Ok thanks for the heads up on the version issue.   I'm not sure how to downgrade but I'll google that and hopefully sort it out.

I'm not using any custom models yet, so really just using it for person detection as I'm controlling some exterior lighting based on motion.

 

Just in case you can usually specfiy the vesion using the tag.  Sometimes its just a matter of adding ":2021.09.01-GPU".  Depends on the docker you are using.

 

[Deepstack GPU not working]

There are issues with the latest version of deepstack and I think its specific to the GPU version.  I saw posts where they acknowledged it and are looking into it.

 

I downgraded back to the previous version (2021.09.1) and it works fine.  Give that a shot until they figure it out.

 

Looking at my GPU while running it, the older version also uses much less memory.

 

I also noticed that blue iris is giving me issues when using custom models.  They are loaded in deepstack and all but BI just doesn't call the right URL's.  So I just use the default for now.

Are you talking about the Nvidia Driver plugin on unRAID or in a VM?

What card do you own?

Please remember 600 and 700 Series cards where dropped from Nvidia with the new driver versions, the v470 drivers are the last ones that support those cards.

 

Yes.  The Nvidia driver plugin on unRAID.  Its an Nvidia GT 1030.  Its an old card but mainly use is because something in the VM requires a physical card for it to function.

 

I haven't dug in deep enough but was that card also dorpped in the newer driver versions?

 

I also have a GT710 in the box which also makes sense now why it stopped working.  Maybe its time to upgrade my cards to something a bit newer.

[6.10RC1-2 Kills my Nvidia Primary GPU Passthrough]

Mine stopped working when I upgraded to the Nvidia driver v495.29.05.  I had to roll back to v470.74 for it to work.  Not sure if thats related.

 

I haven't tried the latest though.

Only use the ACS Override option if the device you want to pass through isn't in an IOMMU group by itself.

 

Thanks for the explanation.  That is pretty much what I got from the video.  Unfortunately I had to use the ACS override option because my card wasn't in its own group but its working nicely so far.

oh man. Thank you. This solved my issue too. 
 

Do you know if there a way I can have the plug-in installed and at the same time pass through a gpu to a vm?  Is there a way to have the plug-in ignore that card?

 

I have 2 cards. One I use for dockers and one that I want to use in the VM. 

 

Yes.  Got it working.

 

Just in case anybody else is looking for the solution I found it in this video.  Had to use the ACS trick in 6.9.1.

You can't pass though to a VM a graphics card that's bound to a driver. Remove the Nvidia plugin and reboot, then start the VM.
