Does anyone have a compose.yaml for an Nvidia GPU that works that they would like to share? Here's my current file, it gives a white screen with "server error" on it: https://pastebin.com/AaV17cTz

I went through Jellyfin's instructions on setting a GPU up, but the instructions weren't clear (in my opinion) so who knows if it's correct. I installed some Nvidia tools as a prerequisite and 'nvidia-smi' shows the card. I attached my Jellyfin settings from before it self-destructed according to Nvidia's transcoding matrix (which also wasn't descriptive enough in my opinion), do they look right for a 2080?

Update: after making this post, and changing nothing, it suddenly works

Man, I have an intel iGPU myself, in a little Dell optiplex 7090 and it was a breeze on my Debian sever. Installed through apt and it’s running as a systemd service. No issues so far. Only one issue I had was when I played a 70GB 4k HDR movie that’s loaded with audio and subs and picture enhancements on my OLED TV. The server’s little fan was screaming and the movie kept pausing every 20 seconds. Other than that I have a ton of other movies and shows and I have no issues.
