I am currently trying to get VAAPI working for Jellyfin inside my Arch Linux LXC.
Google pointed me to many different tutorials from which I think I picked the most up to date information from.
My PVE version: 7.0-11 with the lastest upgrades
What am I missing?
Is it even necessary to passthrough the card0 device?
Do I also need to install mesa drivers on the host or just inside the LXC?

lxc.mount.entry: /dev/dri/renderD128 dev/dri/renderD128 none bind,optional,create=file
Code:
1. Proxmox Host: Find the GPU device number.
ls -l /dev/dri
2. Proxmox Host: Add it to the LXC configuration file.
nano /etc/pve/lxc/LXC_ID.conf
add the lines below...
lxc.cgroup2.devices.allow: c 226:0 rwm
lxc.cgroup2.devices.allow: c 226:128 rwm
lxc.mount.entry: /dev/dri/card0 dev/dri/card0 none bind,optional,create=file
lxc.mount.entry: /dev/dri/renderD128 dev/dri/renderD128 none bind,optional,create=file
3. LXC Guest: Start the LXC, change group of render device, install the latest Mesa drivers and reboot the LXC.
chgrp render /dev/dri/*
usermod -aG render jellyfin
pacman -Syyu mesa --noconfirm && reboot
4. Jellyfin: Enable VAAPI.
Go to: Admin --> Server --> Dashboard --> Playback
Hardware acceleration: VAAPI
VA API Device: /dev/dri/renderD128

Is it even necessary to passthrough the card0 device?
Do I also need to install mesa drivers on the host or just inside the LXC?
