Immich not using GPU on truenas
Hi,
I am hosting Immich on Truenas 25.04 (Fangtooth) as an app, and I have enabled GPU passthrough.
For the passtrough : I ran a command :
midclt call -job app.update APP_NAME '{"values": {"resources": {"gpus": {"use_all_gpus": false, "nvidia_gpu_selection": {"PCI_SLOT": {"use_gpu": true, "uuid": "GPU_UUID"}}}}}}'
That was successful. The GPU is only available to immich no other app.
Then I have enabled hardware transcoding in the administration settings "NVENC API".
However Immich doesn't seem to use the GPU at all. I just reset face recognition then facial recognition, but the nvidia stats shows It's at 0mb memory usage. It's only using the CPU.
I have 5k pictures in my library

Setup : GTX1060 6GB, immich version 1.141.1

Successfully submitted, a tag has been added to inform contributors. :white_check_mark:You say you enabled hardware transcoding but then you ran jobs that don't do any transcoding
What do you mean ?
Oh
Doesn't that setting also apply to face recognition ?
No
okay so I missread the docs i thoughts that's what they said
so where is the docs of the gpu and facial recognition ?
Yes about this one it's for docker containers, how do I modifiy mine ?
Because I can't seem to access those settings
I can only tweak the app with truenas
I don't think it's even possible
Limitations The instructions and configurations here are specific to Docker Compose. Other container engines may require different configuration.
I don't know anything about truenas, but it must be possible
You might want to ask in #truenas
Okay thanks
I have the feeling people generally prefer running their services as containers or simply installed on a ubuntu server...
Plenty of people run on truenas just fine, but plain compose is what we recommend and support
okay
I closed it, as it's fixed
