[Ubuntu] [Docker] Need help with Nvidia hardware acceleration in Jellyfin (lemmy.nz)

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
