#Possible to dedicate a PCIe device to an add-on?

Wondering if an Add-on (Jellyfin) can have a PCIe graphics card passed-through to it in HAOS, or if I would need to be running stand-alone docker?

I have a Zimaboard that I want to replace with a version 2, and I want to do GPU encoding/decoding. I am aware of the potential difficulty in powering a GPU on that.

Why not get a proper PC for this?

Ok. Good to know.

you could install proxmox on the host. and run haos in a vm and run jellyfin seperatly

#

although there are probably better options than using a zimaboard. as @rain island mentioned... just use a regular pc 🙂

Yeah, I have 2 full-tower Proxmox servers. I have Jellyfin running in one already. HA is running on my Zimaboard (original model).

#

I’m looking for ways to get my brother setup for a certain upcoming holiday, without incurring much cost…

I know fat chance, but I’m trying.

#

Would be nice to have an AIO device that could run HAOS, NGINX proxy manager and Jellyfin with a GPU.

if your only looking for some light transcoding then you dont need a full discrete gpu

He has an HDHomerun and wants to view live TV on the go. Definitely not LIGHT transcoding.

#

I would love to see him integrate that with HAOS and MA.

#

a mini pc running proxmox. with haos on a vm and then an LXC set up running docker/jellyfin/whatever else with access to the integrated graphics is probably enough

regal rampart
#

He does have a Windows PC, so maybe we’ll stick to that for Jellyfin, and use a Zimaboard for HAOS will probably suffice.

unless you need something special. like multiple streams or AV1 encoding or something. its surprising how good integrated is these days

#

Multiple streams may be a factor with 3 people in the house and Dad/Brother on the go with a Pixel phone. That said, I don’t think a his GT 1030 will cut it anyway.

#

He’ll need to upgrade to at least a xx50 GPU and probably a newer gen.
