Cannot enable Hardware transcoding update on portainer

[worthy cradle]

Just updated to v1.72.0 & trying to enable HW transcoding using intel quicksync. When I add the lines under immich_microservices and another services as hwaccel & redeploy, getting the following error:
"Failure
failed to pull images of the stack: open /data/compose/1/hwaccel.yml: no such file or directory"

My docker compose used as a stack in portainer:

Have you read the linked guide in the release note

To the best of my efforts, I have Alex.

https://immich.app/docs/features/hardware-transcoding

There is the link to the hwavcel.yml file in the documentation

Have you had a chance to get the file yet?

sorry not sure why but pasting the change in discord is screwing up the format of the hardware transcoding service but it shows up ok in portainer as far as formating is concerned.

Yup, following that I made the following changes (in bold) to my docker compose file I am deploying as a stack in portainer:

immich-microservices:
container_name: immich_microservices
image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-server:${IMMICH_VERSION:-release}
** extends:
file: hwaccel.yml
service: hwaccel**
command: [ "start.sh", "microservices" ]
volumes:

${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload
env_file:
stack.env
depends_on:
redis
database
typesense
restart: always

** hwaccel:
devices:

/dev/dri:/dev/dri**

If using Intel QuickSync or VAAPI

# volumes:
#   - /usr/lib/wsl:/usr/lib/wsl # If using VAAPI in WSL2
# environment:
#   - NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all # If using NVIDIA GPU
#   - LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/wsl/lib # If using VAAPI in WSL2
#   - LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=d3d12 # If using VAAPI in WSL2
# deploy: # Uncomment this section if using NVIDIA GPU
#   resources:
#     reservations:
#       devices:
#         - driver: nvidia
#           count: 1
#           capabilities: [gpu]

I am guessing the "extends" is expecting a file where as I have defined it as a service ?

[vast zinc]

I believe so

[worthy cradle]

anything I can try ?

I have tried using:
extends:
service: hwaccel
But got error that "hwaccel" does not have an image associated with it as a service

You can find where the docker-compose is stored and put in the hwaccel file in there

@rapid scarab Might have better idea than me

[rapid scarab]

hwaccel.yml is intended to be a convenience to reuse the settings in it across different docker-compose files and avoid cluttering them. If Portainer is complaining about it, you can just put the relevant settings in immich-microservices itself.

in your case, it would just mean adding

devices:
      - /dev/dri:/dev/dri

to immich-microservices

Thanks giving this a try

Do you have the portainer data directory mounted as a folder?

[worthy cradle]

This worked perfectly. I can see igpu being used for HEVC encoding (only have 7th gen i3)
To confirm, had to install "sudo apt install intel-gpu-tools" then "intel_gpu_top"

[worthy cradle]

Hi, haven't messed around with the actual portainer installed components yet.

[rapid scarab]

awesome! also thanks for mentioning that tool, i wasn't aware of it

Thank you for the awsome hw transcoding efforts. My 1500 videos are actually transcoding faster now.
