I recently upgraded my setup from an RPi running DietPi to a Beelink 14 (N150) running Proxmox. So far it’s been fun screwing around with it, creating VMs and LXCs, and getting to learn the ways of Proxmox.

My latest obstacle, however, was migrating my Plex setup from the RPi to the Beelink, I have created an unprivileged LXC and setup Plex manually. I know there is a Community Helper Script for it but where is the fun in that.

Anyway, I am trying to enable HW acceleration and can’t seem to passthrough the GPU drivers to the LXC without breaking things (thankfully I have a backup that I always restore to once things break).

I looked up tutorials online that might help but I can’t seem to find anything applicable, mostly people suggest to just use the Community Helper Script and get it over with. There isn’t much I can learn doing it the easy way.

Can anyone suggest to me how to go ahead with this or at least point me in the right direction?

Thank you.

You could read the script and see what it does.

First thing I tried doing, it has the relevant parts for setting up the GPU in case the LXC was privileged, but nowhere do I see how it sets it up in case the LXC was unprivileged.
