compute-runtime VS docker-plex

Well... Fuck! https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/issues/643

For what it's worth, I was able to get IOMMU enabled and iGPU passthrough working for Plex on an Ubuntu 22.04 LXC container with a fresh install of Proxmox 8.0.3 (kenrel 6.2.16-3-pve) on an Intel i5-13400, ASRock B760M Pro RS/D4, also using Intel drivers released early today. I largely followed this guide.

For this little project unless someone chimes in with experience or can point to regarding the RX 6600 XT / 6650 XT / perhaps 7600 I might go with https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime . (They don't have perfect documentation re supported gpus either, the readme table doesn't list DG2, you need to go to releases to see that) . Phoronix reported it as pretty stable when they tested it with kernel 6.2 in March.

Update: I was able to fix my issue. I'm using Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS and have the newest available kernel, 6.3.1. Installing the drivers via apt does not work, instead I needed to use https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/

Drivers: https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases

wget https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/22.43.24595.30/intel-level-zero-gpu-dbgsym_1.3.24595.30_amd64.ddeb

For OpenCL HDR/DV tone-mapping, install the extra compute-runtime if running on host.

I've tried with couple of repositories but I'm mainly using this one now: lscr.io/linuxserver/plex I gave up on this sometime ago but would now like to get at least RAM transcode working for Plex. The GPU transcode can wait.

I found this, but don't see anything similar for ghcr.io in the images list in the docker UI.

I'm facing a similar issue. I reported it to the linuxserver team (publisher of that docker image), they think it's a plex issue. https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-plex/issues/357

I've messed with Plex in docker quite a lot though, so if you put your code in GitHub I should be able to point out an option for getting it done. Might not make sense for Plexamp for some reason, I've usually started with this repo https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-plex and forked when I was making my own Plex containers. I was thinking of doing that for Plexamp, but I've not looked at what's needed to map sound devices properly. It has an example of where to run a Plex claim script before starting up Plex to run as a service.

FWIW it's probably not a great idea to use the Plex or Jellyfin (or any really) images from lsio. They do stupid shit like this which is not needed with Kubernetes. You can add a security context with those GIDs as supplemental groups. Also all their containers start as root which is not considered best practice.

These are their historical container versions - https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-plex/releases

The linuxserver plex image can actually check for updates when the container starts. It's a bit of an anti-pattern. Here's the script: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-plex/blob/master/root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-plex-update/run
