AMD GPU passthrough to container

[firewood0188]

Hi,

I am new to use Proxmox and I am setting up Shinobi in Ubuntu LXC. My home server's CPU is AMD fx-8800p CPU which contains 8 GPUs. So, I would like to use these GPU for hardware acceleration in Shinobi. How can I activate the GPUs in LXC?


Thanks!

Hi,
were you able to solve the issue in the meantime? If not, you could try using

lxc-device -n <ID> add /dev/<DEVICE>

where <ID> is the ID of your container. And you might need to use a privileged container for this.

Sorry for maybe hijacking the question, after the passthrough, how should the drivers be installed?
For example with AMD, it seems now we need to install ROCm. Could this be done on the host, and maybe again inside the LXC?

This seems to be the minimum requirement for utilizing say OpenCL.

since the container uses the same kernel as the host, it should be enough to install the drivers on the host. But I haven't done this myself, so I don't know whether there are some quirks to it.
