You can also use the environment variable `AUTO_GPU=true`, with this set the first card detected in the container (IE `/dev/dri/renderD128`) will be used and configured for **Zero Copy**.

**Prerequisites:**

140
135
-
1. **Driver:** Proprietary drivers **580 or higher** are required.
136
-
2. **Kernel Parameter:** Set `nvidia-drm.modeset=1` in your host bootloader (GRUB/systemd-boot).
137
-
3. **Initialization:** On headless systems, run `nvidia-modprobe --modeset` on the host (once per boot) to initialize the card.
141
+
1. **Driver:** Proprietary drivers **580 or higher** are required. **Crucially, you should install the driver using the `.run` file downloaded directly from the Nvidia website.**
142
+
* **Unraid:** Use the production branch from the Nvidia Driver Plugin.
143
+
144
+
2. **Kernel Parameter:** You must set `nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia_drm.fbdev=1` in your host bootloader.
145
+
* **Standard Linux (GRUB):** Edit `/etc/default/grub` and add the parameter to your existing `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT` line:
* **Unraid (Syslinux):** Edit the file `/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg` and add `nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia_drm.fbdev=1` to the end of the `append` line for the Unraid OS boot entry.

3. **Hardware Initialization:** **On headless systems, the Nvidia video card requires a physical dummy plug inserted into the GPU so that DRM initializes properly.**

4. **Docker Runtime:** Configure the host docker daemon to use the Nvidia runtime:
