Bit of a silly question, but is there any rough ETA for a stable 6.9 release ?

Go Beta 6.9 (have personally been using for beta 29 and beta 30 and its been stable for MY usage)

or not run the unraid nvidia build and use this to build a kernel with the current drivers and a bunch of other stuff if you require it.. 

 

I have two questions. Anyone know if you can pass the nvidia GPU to the Channels DVR docker? Is is possible to pass the GPU to two separate docker containers at the same time or will that cause an issue?

The drivers in 6.8.3 will work fine with the 1050ti (i use one myself) - the drivers in 6.9.0 beta30 are better for current builds of Plex (if that is the use case)
from terminal run lspci -k this will show the devices found - for example a 1050ti might come up like this in the list:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] (rev a1)
        Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti]
        Kernel driver in use: nvidia
        Kernel modules: nvidia_drm, nvidia

If its not showing - either the card itself could be busted - the card might need a monitor or dummy hdmi installed - or the other I have seen that its not actually a 1050ti - but some wish/aliexpress/dodgy ebay special thats not actually a 1050ti  oh and make sure you are not booting into GUI mode either

I'm seeing the correct output for my P400 but I'm still not able to get unraid nvidia to see my card

VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107GL [Quadro P400] (rev a1)
        Subsystem: NVIDIA Corporation GP107GL [Quadro P400]
        Kernel driver in use: nvidia
        Kernel modules: nvidia_drm, nvidia

I'm completely stumped as to why this isn't working for me. I just updated my BIOS to no avail.

I can answer the second one. I don't know what Channels DVR is or have ever used it. 

 

You can pass the GPU to a VM "or" Docker(s). So yes, multiple supported dockers will work. I use my p2000 for Plex, unmanic, and foldingathome at the same time.

Please lock this thread.  Due to an unexpected announcement from @limetech this is no longer required. I'm quitting Unraid work.
