TrueNAS Scale drivers for running Nvidia Tesla P4 low profile GPU accelerator card?

Got a used Nvidia Tesla P4 to use on my Dell PowerEdge R410 server. Can someone recommend what drivers I need to install to integrate use of the this accelerator GPU card with TrueNAS scale? I’m running the latest version of TrueNAS Scale: EE RC2.

I have a Quadro P400. If you’re on EE RC2, it should download the correct drivers automatically. Make sure this box is checked in Apps > Configuration > Settings:

After that, if you don’t see the NVIDIA drivers downloading in Jobs, try rebooting.

Thank you, Sir!

Confirmed your instruction. All looks good. But I don’t see in the GUIs how one leverages use of these new GPU cores into container use (Portainer: GPU → None). Should the new GPU resources show up on the Reporting page? Thanks for your help!

Yeah GPU pass through doesn’t show up as an option in Dockge, either. You need to modify your compose files for each stack that needs the GPU.

Add this as an environment variable:

NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all

And then at the end add:

deploy:
      resources:
        reservations:
          devices:
            - driver: nvidia
              count: 1
              capabilities:
                - gpu

Works for me in Jellyfin, Plex and Unmanic.
