nVidia Passthrough on UnRaid Docker

[Godbot]

Hey all,
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. But simply I'm running UnRaid with an AMD 5950x and nVidia 1070 GPU. CPU sits at around 3% usage on idle and 45% if I'm running Agent-DVR so I'd like to offload that to the GPU.

I have the nVidia driver installed on UnRaid and in Agent-DVR's container I have the following:

Extra Parameters: --runtime=nvidia

And created 2 variables:
Key: NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES
Value: GPU-d4a2886a-4914-51ed-d658-xxxxxxxxxx

Key: NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES
Value: all

In Agent-DVR I've gone to Settings > Playback and set:
Use GPU: Yes
Default GPU Decoder: vaapi
Default Record Codec: h264_vaapi
Default UI Codec: h264_vaapi

If I set all that and restart the container I can see in /logs.html

2:45:32 pm | Lounge Camera: SetupDecoder: Found decoder AV_HWDEVICE_TYPE_VAAPI
2:45:32 pm | Lounge Camera: SetupDecoder: Opening AV_HWDEVICE_TYPE_VAAPI
2:45:32 pm | Lounge Camera: SetupDecoder: Try device AV_HWDEVICE_TYPE_VAAPI
2:45:32 pm | Lounge Camera: FailHW: Couldn't create AV_HWDEVICE_TYPE_VAAPI decoder. Using CPU instead.
2:45:32 pm | Lounge Camera: SetupFormat: Using software decoder

I get one of the above entries per camera.

That's all the information I get. I have plex using hardware transcoding using the exact same settings as above but Agent-DVR doesn't seem to like it. Any tips? I can't find much to go on online.

Thanks a lot.

you need to forward the gpu devices into the container
for example:

or try the gpu variant of

You're the best. Thank you!

I just switched to mekaylanik's image, did exactly the same setup and nvidia-smi shows agent-dvr using the GPU. h.265 and a lot less CPU, thanks a heap!
