Having a bit of trouble getting hardware acceleration working on my home server. The cpu of the server is an i7-10700 and has a discrete GPU, RTX 2060. I was hoping to use intel quick sync for the hardware acceleration, but not having much luck.
From the guide on the jellyfin site https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/intel
I have gotten the render group ID using "getent group render | cut -d: -f3" though it mentions on some systems it might not be render, it may be video or input which i tried with those group ID's as well.
When I run "docker exec -it jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/vainfo" I get back
libva info: VA-API version 1.22.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: Trying to open /usr/local/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit
I feel like I need to do something on the host system since its trying to use the discrete card? But I am unsure.
This is the compose file just in case I am missing something

Thank you for the help.
Hmm. I would think so. But I haven't actually checked. That was my thought.
