What is the status of hardware passthrough support for docker containers in SCALE? Specifically, I have an application that runs in a simple docker container that needs access to a USB device (a Tensor Processor) and processor-specific video acceleration (intel Quicksync) that is required for ffmpeg decoding of a video stream.
I am trying to determine if this scenario is going to fly with SCALE, since I also have a requirement for NAS and wanted to combine the two if possible when procuring some new hardware.
In terms of docker-compose, the constructs used in my application are as follows
Is this something that I am going to be able to get working in the current version or am I wasting my time? I did try playing around doing this with a quick TrueNAS SCALE install in a virtual environment (yes, I know...) but based on previous experience this particular combination is a crapshoot for the hardware passthrough - sometimes it works, sometimes it does not - but did not have any success. I wanted to get opinions on whether this should work, and if so if there is anything in particular I need to do to get it working.
The USB passthrough is a show stopper for my proposed environment, so I wanted to determine if I should expend any further effort trying to get it working.
