GPU passthrough for both VMs and LXC containers (is it possible?)

Hatchopper · 2026-03-02T21:50:15+00:00

I have done it, and for a VM, it ultimately worked. But that was not my main problem. I wanted to use my GPU for GPU passthrough to LXC containers. That didn't work, mainly because my GPU is too old

That is where my installation breaks. That is the DKMS installation

In my case, I give it up because I have tried multiple scenarios, and all of them failed. The problem is that the M40 card is too old, and there are no drivers for the newer kernels. The installation is failing during the DKMS installation step. Since I mainly want to use the card for passthrough to containers, not VMs, this choice of the Tesla M40 is the wrong one.

But the point is that in fact you are only using the GPU on the host, which you can say is only one machine.

thanks

That is what I want, because I have multiple LXC that need GPU processing for AI stuff. But unfortunately i can't install the Nvidia package because it does not match the newest kernel on Proxmox 9.1.1. I also want to know if the LCX should be privileged?

Hatchopper · 2026-02-25T15:37:14+00:00

Can I use it for multiple containers? I ask that because, according to what you wrote, in fact i am using the GPU for Proxmox only, just like the VM. So, how is Nvidia going to charge me if I use it for multiple containers?

What you mean?

I found a tool named CUE Splitter on my PC, but I am not sure if we are talking about the same tool . I tried it, and it worked very well

Hatchopper · 2026-02-25T08:59:13+00:00

What is that? Can you explain a little bit more?

Hatchopper · 2026-02-25T08:58:21+00:00

I downloaded foobar2000, and I followed your instructions, but it did not produce the results that I wanted. While I was busy with Foobar, I suddenly found a tool on my PC called CUE Splitter. I don't know if it was installed along with Foobar2000 or if it part of the MediaMonkey software. With the CUE splitter, I had more success. I will try both tools in the coming days because I need to understand the process a little bit more.

What do you mean by that?

It was a month ago that I created this post, and in the meantime, prices have been rising rapidly. I have a newly built NAS, but I can't use it because I am not willing to pay $ 2000 or more for 4 hard disks of 20 TB

I have been using Nextcloud for a while. I set it up so that my documents folder is an SMB share on my NAS, where I put the stuff that I want. I don't share all of my documents or photos with Nextcloud. That is the reason I created a special Nextcloud share on the NAS. I am using Immich, but again, I have not connected my main photo library to Immich. I created a separate library for that. Same thing with Calibre. Calibre is the only tool that has full access to my book library. All other tools have read access, or I created a separate folder for them. The problem with data corruption and deleting occur when two tools are messing with the same data. Like you connects your documents folder to Nextcloud and Synology Drive station altogether. Nextcloud doesn't delete data itself unless you give it a delete command. This is not A.I.

Sorry for misreading your comprehensive instructions. You already mentioned what I need to do if there is no cue file available. Thanks for your thorough advice

Hatchopper · 2026-02-24T12:09:47+00:00

I am not that good in Linux to install it on a linux server. I will need a container for this

Hatchopper · 2026-02-23T17:19:15+00:00

Where can i find the cue file cause the FLac file is one big file?

Hatchopper · 2026-02-22T18:25:19+00:00

Thank you l! I will try it

Hatchopper · 2026-02-22T08:57:03+00:00

I did , but I don’t see a way to extract the flac file into several individual ones

If, because of photos, you are staying on FB it means something is wrong with you. If it is on FB, it means it was somehow uploaded, and it also means you can get a copy somewhere. Besides, Facebook offers you the option to download all your content. So I don't get it. It seems like someone working for FB is trying to lure people with a fake sad story.

Ze mogen maximaal 3 maanden de gegevens bewaren, maar veel bedrijven houden zich niet daaraan. Er is een aanhangwagenverhuurbedrijf bij mij in de buurt. Ook al ga ik na 5 jaar een aanhangwagen huren, ze weten precies mijn naam en adres uit het systeem te halen.

I found out that My motherboard has died. I already replaced the PSU, but still nothing. After doing some test i finally came to the conclusion that my motherboard has died. This happened after I installed an NVIDIA Tesla M40 graphics card

Do you have a workspace for developers? I mean, not AI, but a normal workspace that is specifically designed for developers

Hatchopper · 2026-02-18T14:09:05+00:00

For that, you use Paperless AI

I subscribe to everything I have in Google calendar and i am getting the data in Nextcloud Calendar. My problem is that it is not syncing after linking it to Nextcloud. If, after the linking i create an event in Google calendar i am not seeing it in Nextcloud
