Hi there! I have an old pc that I use as a server (I use Ubuntu Server) and I would like to add a NVIDIA 1050 to it (for jellyfin and guacamole).
In the past I tried to do it and somehow I corrupted the system when installing the video drivers, I have always had complications when installing NVIDIA drivers on Linux.
Could any of you help me know what is the right way to install the video drivers on a headless system and use it correctly with docker compose?
Thanks in advance 😄

not exactly what you want. but check out gaming on whales Wolf docs. it’s configured for gpu accelerated X11 apps on docker. if I recall correctly one of the documents explained settings up nvidia drivers on docker completely.
Wow it’s the first time that I see someone suggesting my project out in the wild, thanks! Here’s the Wolf quickstart guide
Once you do get the drivers installed properly as per your OS (speaking of, which distro are you using? Edit: nvm I see you are on Ubuntu), here are the steps to give docker access to it: https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html
I recently did this and found those instructions to be beyond useless. The repository URIs were all old and dead. Not sure if they updated this doc since then, but they combined all the deb-based distros into one repo and and all the rpm-based distros into another repo.
Yeah thankfully I use Arch Linux. Their wiki guide was much better.
A assume you already have the Nvidia card? If you are buying one go for amd
