G'day,

Has anyone been successful at installing AMDGPU drivers on proxmox? specifically for the RX570?

I have not been successful in my endeavours so far. The GPU will be accessed via containers to provide transcoding.

vainfo does see that the GPU, however it reports the incorrect one, and I assume the wrong mesa driver is loaded.

vainfo:
Code: 
error: can't connect to X server!
libva info: VA-API version 1.10.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/radeonsi_drv_video.so

vainfo: VA-API version: 1.10 (libva 2.10.0)

      VAProfileH264High               : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileH264High               : VAEntrypointEncSlice
      VAProfileHEVCMain               : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileHEVCMain               : VAEntrypointEncSlice
      VAProfileHEVCMain10             : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileJPEGBaseline           : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileNone                   : VAEntrypointVideoProc

The container can see the GPU, however no transcoding is conducted.

At this point I'm considering purchasing an Nvidia card, they seem more widely accepted.

Any help on the issue will be greatly appreciated.
 
Hello flux

In general the 570 should work. I am no expert but i have been digging a little bit into some information about virtualizing graphics adapters and i would not recommend switching to an nvidia card. I am not sure but it might be the case that you have to get a special license for video encoding from nvidia if you need to encode more than (i think it was...) 2 video streams simultaneously. These licenses are very expensive.

The 570 is a little bit old and i have heard that linux and virtualization support has very much increased on the AMD side, since the release of the 5800 series. It could be worth a try, but I'm not sure if containers use GPU virtualization. It also just might be a dumb and simple issue with the driver itself...

Have you installed the drivers for amd?
 
I have just tried installing everything manually, however it fails. It's dependent on libc6 being greater than 2.28.

Is libc6 2.29 being implemented any time soon?

No, we do not have this type of scenario, we don't use graphics/video rendering on our Servers.
If the latest driver requires libc6 > 2.28, maybe an older driver can be used with libc6 = 2.28

Upon further investigation, it seems as though it is asking to install the 32 as well as 64 bit. From my understanding, proxmox does not support mulitarch?

I may have figured it out, was not aware that there is an option for the install to disable i386
