Hi there! I have an old pc that I use as a server (I use Ubuntu Server) and I would like to add a NVIDIA 1050 to it (for jellyfin and guacamole).
In the past I tried to do it and somehow I corrupted the system when installing the video drivers, I have always had complications when installing NVIDIA drivers on Linux.
Could any of you help me know what is the right way to install the video drivers on a headless system and use it correctly with docker compose?
Thanks in advance 😄
What went wrong last time you tried installing the drivers?
Ubuntu has Nvidia drivers in the official repos: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-install-nvidia-driver-latest-proprietary-driver/
Nvidia also has a docker image for GPUs: https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/1.14.2/install-guide.html
Thanks for the help! I’m trying to install the driver from the official repo but I don’t know what version shoud I use for a headless docker setup with a 1050.
I think that’s what went wrong last time, I tried to install the driver from the NVIDIA documentation thinking that “I’ll just work” just like in windows 😓
Edit: I’ve solved it, now it works perfectly, Thanks again
