Proxmox vgpu for both LXC and VM

[KevinGoos]

I have recently added a Nvidia 1080 inside a single node off my proxmox server.
The reason I want this, is because I am using a VM running bluestacks for a game (24/7) and it doesn't work without a GPU.

So I have it now running that the VM uses my gpu.
But now I want to also move my plex server over so I can improve the transcoding. And make use off the same GPU.
I was reading about vGPU but is it also possible to share a vGPU both to a windows VM as also a Debian LXC container?

For power usage putting two gpu's in a single server is not an option, so this would be the best solution.

NVidia only supports vGPU on their 'enterprise' hardware. Consumer/gaming cards do not support it:

I guess your only option would be to pass through the GPU to the Windows VM and then run Plex alongside the Bluestacks emulator.

There is a way to unlock it. And there is a way to merger a drive to run it on host and vm together.

Can you please share the VM configuration which you running bluestacks on? I have tried many methods to get bluestacks work, but it is always extremely slow.
