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 for the help! I’m trying to install the driver from the official repo but I don’t know what version shoud I use for a headless docker setup with a 1050.
I think that’s what went wrong last time, I tried to install the driver from the NVIDIA documentation thinking that “I’ll just work” just like in windows 😓
Edit: I’ve solved it, now it works perfectly, Thanks again

Not docker but you could do k3s and use the Nvidia GPU operator to manage installing video drivers for you on your single node cluster.
I didn’t know about it, thanks! I’ll give it a try 😄
It actually was pretty straightforward. Saying this from experience as I used a tensortt container image with a 1060 for image clarification
What went wrong last time you tried installing the drivers?
Ubuntu has Nvidia drivers in the official repos: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-install-nvidia-driver-latest-proprietary-driver/
Nvidia also has a docker image for GPUs: https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/1.14.2/install-guide.html
