I run docker compose on Ubuntu VM running on HyperV. Previously I had run on VMware until they took the free version away, then I moved to Server 2025 Hyper V, and now finally I am running on Windows 11 Hyper V.
My quest is to enable hardware transcoding on my Emby server running in docker on ubuntu as a Hyper V VM. I’ve managed to get a Windows VM to accept the passed through Nvidia GPU, but now im reading that It’s not easy to do on Ubuntu and even if it works docker want be able to use the GPU for transcoding.
I really dont care what I run. I need to have a hypervisor of some kind to handle my Ubuntu instance for Docker and my other VMs. I tried ProxMox, while I had great hopes for it, I canned it because of the convoluted way it handles datastores.
I’m looking for advise on a solution that is known to work Hypervisor > VM > Docker. I did fart around with Docker Desktop on Windows a bit, I didn’t like it much but I can move from Docker Engine to Desktop if that will let me pass the GPU through to docker. Thanks for any comments or advise.
