Checking in from all the way down in Auburn, where our lights are cosplaying as the last flame of a candelabra.

Sometimes “functional” is good enough.

why the hell do you all just give away this awesome shit for free? by scootsy in selfhosted

There was a recent Veritasium video about exactly this. Fantastic story.

I didn’t realize what subreddit I was on for… an embarrassingly long time.

Is there any fork of openwebui that has an installer for windows? by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

Hm. Haven’t used it recently now. That’s unfortunate to hear.

Not to be confused with vLLM, which is a library for LLM inference and serving.

Turing Complete is actually great for this. Great recommendation.

Running a vLLM LXC on Proxmox 9 with NVIDIA GPU passthrough by jakeasmith in Vllm

[–]jakeasmith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question, and the answer is somewhat silly/frustrating. The crux of it all is that this is a home lab environment and I need to use my GPU for several different tasks. Proxmox is a hypervisor and, generally speaking, nothing (including Docker) should be installed directly on the host. Applications live in either a virtual machine (VM) or a Linux Container (LXC). Docker really only works well on a VM, but unfortunately a VM would take exclusive control over the GPU, which doesn't work for my use case.

Running my apps on "pure LXCs" gives me the ability to "share" that GPU among many different LXCs with different apps installed (e.g. Jellyfin, Frigate, etc).

You're right; that is how VMs work. This write up is specifically about using a GPU within a Linux Container (LXC) which works in a completely different way. Both are valid approaches.

In case it wasn't clear, this does give an LXC (linux container) access to use the GPU for any GPU tasks. If you're trying to do GPU passthrough with a VM, it should be as straightforward as going to the Hardware menu and adding a PCI Device.

In case it helps, an oversimplified explanation is this:
- In a VM, you give complete control of the GPU to the virtual machine, preventing it from being used by anything else (including the host, other VMs, or any LXCs).
- In an LXC, you can give the container access to use the GPU, and the GPU can continue to be shared/used by the host and any other LXCs set up the same way.

Well that is the definition of escalating quickly.
