[HW Accel Support]:

[alve89]

Describe the problem you are having

I'm getting error messages regarding the hardware acceleration for the following setup:

• ASRock N100M with iGPU
• Proxmox VE as host OS
• Frigate in docker compose container in Proxmox LXC container

So my questions are:

1. Is the HW acceleration actually working or not?
2. Can I get rid of the error messages (both in the screenshot and in the logs)?

Any other information that may be helpful

This is a test Proxmox LXC container for getting the hardware acceleration run.

My LXC config:

root@pve:/etc/pve/lxc# cat 109.conf
arch: amd64
cores: 4
dev0: /dev/dri/renderD128,gid=104
dev1: /dev/bus/usb/004/003
features: nesting=1
hostname: frigate
memory: 10240
net0: name=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1,hwaddr=BC:24:11:1C:6B:B2,ip=dhcp,type=veth
ostype: debian
rootfs: local-lvm:vm-109-disk-0,size=32G
swap: 512
unprivileged: 1

I also tried sh -c 'echo 2 >/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid' as suggested here.

I also found this comment, so I'm unsure if everything is actually "fine" (except of the error messages.

This is my LXC summary (CPU and memory):

I spent to much time on Google but I did not found this great explanation - thank you! I'll read this with so much hope! 😄
