GPU Allocation failure Truenas/Immich
I am getting an error when trying to save my configuration for Immich to use my 1070ti. I can see it's being recognized in the setup options of Immich and has the UUID correct. When I go to save the configuration I get an error.
Immich is also one of the most amazing programs i've ever used. You all are doing an incredible job!

Here is my config yaml
I have tried manually adding the following to the yaml file-
{% do server_container.deploy.set_resources({
"limits": {
"nvidia.com/gpu": "GPU-a2952624-2218-1ddc-a0b3-17c7b590a0f4"
}
}) %}
{% do server_container.environment.add_env("NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES", "a2952624-2218-1ddc-a0b3-17c7b590a0f4") %}
{% do server_container.environment.add_env("NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES", "compute,utility") %}

Does truenas use some kind of templating? I don't recognize this kind of config.
I believe it does yes. And I think that is where the issue is. I dumped the error into Grok and it mentioned templating
Should I try using a 1080? I have one in my sons computer I could pop out and throw in it to see if it runs on the 1080. But I think there is an issue with the templating
I have no idea what is going on here to be honest 🙂
python scripts are not part of immich so it's something truenas-y
It might be something super silly like a space where there shouldn't be
Dang.. Should I reach out to truenas? Surely there are others on here that are using Truenas as well? I appreciate you looking into this. Super bummed my GPU isnt being utilized, not the end of the world though.
This is what grok is telling me -
You are awesome Ill give those a look over. I really appreciate your help so far!
This one https://forums.truenas.com/t/docker-apps-and-uuid-issue-with-nvidia-gpu-after-upgrade-to-24-10/22547/8 is giving me some ideas.
Im wondering if its an issue with my integrated graphics? Ill have to do some test when I get home from work today.

Docker Apps and UUID issue with NVIDIA GPU after upgrade to 24.10
Your post fixed my issue. Thank you so much! It’s a lot easier than when I had to edit the file manually through TrueNAS’s shell.
I wanted to update you @Mraedis! But I have foind the fix for me. That forum link you sent me indeed fixed my issue! I ran this command in TrueNAS Scale shell-
midclt call -job app.update immich '{"values": {"resources": {"gpus": {"use_all_gpus": false, "nvidia_gpu_selection": {"0000:01:00.0": {"use_gpu": true, "uuid": "GPU-a2952624-2218-1ddc-a0b3-17c7b590a0f4"}}}}}}'
hurray
You are the best! Do you work for Immich? Or just a community member volunteering your time? Im amazed by this software thus far.
It's volunteer service 🙂
Well i appreciate you and your help!
Bad news haha evem though I was able to get the GPU enabled in Immich, it doesnt seem to be utilizing it at all. nvidia-smi command in TrueNAS shell is showing no processes running for the GPU. Ill continue to troubleshoot.
Im wondering if my system is struggling with resource, the CPU is serverly underpowered. I have an upgrade on the way, it will be here Sunday. I currently have an Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU G3930 @ 2.90GHz it was all i had at the time when I built this system. I have an i7 7700 im putting in it. But Im wondering if the CPU is not able to manage both system processes and application workloads leading to gpu task scheduling issues.
Did you enable HWA in the GUI?
In the configuration settings in truenas "Apps" i have install nvidea drivers checked and in the Immich configuration Ive checked the box to use the GPU. Is there another location i need to set?
Yes the immich gui @Higher Primate
I enabled it and started a transcode job and it still isnt using it.. I guess im just SOL... Im out of ideas.
Found this forum thread. It seems to be an issue with TrueNAS and not Immich. So I guess I will start asking TrueNAS community about a fix- https://forums.truenas.com/t/nvidia-gpu-not-being-used-by-apps-electriceel/22339/9

Do you have a link to the ticket? If it was immediately closed, it was probably becasue it was a duplicate of an already reported issue.
