Some hacks around using NVIDIA GPU for Jellyfin Container with QNAP

Make sure you have NVIDIA driver installed already

Check NVIDIA Driver Path

find /share/ -name "NVIDIA_GPU_DRV"
# /share/ZFS530_DATA/.qpkg/NVIDIA_GPU_DRV

Install Portainer (Recommended)

mkdir -p /share/Container/portainer
docker run -d --restart=unless-stopped -p 9999:9000 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --name portainer-ce -v /share/Container/portainer:/data portainer/portainer-ce:latest

Prep

mkdir /share/Container/jellyfin
mkdir -p /share/Container/jellyfin/overlay/upper
mkdir -p /share/Container/jellyfin/overlay/work
