LXC with NVIDIA pass through will not start automatically

[Carlos Chavez]

I have a Proxmox 9.2 server (upgraded from 9.0) that runs a couple LXC containers that access an NVIDIA 3060 card. Everything works fine but if I reboot the server the containers will not start automatically and give an error. I have to manually run "nvtop" on the server CLI and then I can start the containers.

The error is: TASK ERROR: Device /dev/nvidia-caps/nvidia-cap1 does not exist

Any tips on how to make sure the containers can start after a server reboot?

Run contab -e and add this

@reboot /usr/bin/nvidia-smi > /dev/null

Thank you. Now everything starts properly.
