From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Podman rootless Plex with H/W transcoding? (lemmy.nine-hells.net)

Hi all - recently moved my old docker setup across to Podman rootless containers, however I am having some trouble with getting my Plex container to use the on CPU hardware transcoding.

"/dev/dri" device is being passed into the container and after reading, I also added "--group-add=keep-groups" to my configuration.

Still no luck getting the "video" group to the plex user inside the container so it can access the device.

Anyone successfully running rootless Plex with H/W transcode?

No madness. I know it works natively. I also know it works perfectly well with a rootfull container.

All of my other applications are running in containers and having Plex also run in a container would simplify my overall architecture and recovery, should I need to replace the host.
