Hardware Acceleration in Linux in Proxmox (lemmy.world)

I have a used Lenovo Thinkcenter 910 with a i5 7500T running Proxmox with Linux Mint in one VM and Adguard running in another. I’m just getting started so I am reading/searching for tons of answers still

I was hoping to host Jellyfin within Linux Mint. It works pretty well, but I did notice while watching a movie the CPU was pretty well pegged out. I wanted to enable hardware based acceleration but when I started reading setup guides to hope to understand what I was doing, I think I may have painted myself into a corner already.

I think I need to tell Proxmox to pass the hardware acceleration on to Linux, and then get Linux to, but also some of the things I have read make it sound like I need to have set up the VM from the beginning this way.

Am I trying to do this the hard way somehow? Does anyone have any suggestions on the best guide to follow for this?

Proxmox has an official guide on how to do this, which inlcudes these examples.

There's also a video from Jim's Garage where he sets up GPU passthrough in an unprivileged LXC container within proxmox.

See if any of that helps.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
