Podman rootless Plex with H/W transcoding? - eviltoast

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.nine-hells.net/post/56646

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?

    OK, looks like my setup isn’t any different to yours, except that I have --security-opt=label=disable set too. The reason for this is because of this issue, which should be fixed by now. Your version may be too old?

    If you get the same result from ausearch as on that issue, you may be seeing the same problem.
