Using HP ProLiant DL385p Gen8

[bloodedcyborg]

Hey all, first time watcher long time caller. 

I have an HP ProLiant DL385p Gen8 server with 24 bays for drives, a 4 port NIC, two GPUs installed for VMs, NVMe for Cache, and last but not least running a 24/7 Palworld multiplayer server, allegedly running to support 2K players (PalDivine [Normal - PvE]). Right now the server is rock steady around 30 FPS, but I am not sure if there is any limitations going on caused by Unraid/configs/etc No other services are running.

I know this BareMetal is probably not the best in regards against to a bunch of Threadrippers, but this was a hand me down system from 2019 that I picked up for free in 2021. So I decided to stretch this beast to see how far it can go.  I do have the docker running on a spare SSD with Palworld on it as well. I will post my specs below. I would like to know how well Unraid can support this type of hardware or if there is anything I should do differently with the Unraid setup for this type of system? Or a proper config with thein the System boot manager, etc. Or if my configuration is fine also lmk, as I am very new to this!   I would like to know if a docker container can use a GPU as well for any rendering calls, or if it's even possible.

Much appreciated!  😁
