Hi,

My GPU is working fine on my host machine. I am able to run commands with **NO** probs:

```auto
nvidia-smi
and
docker run nvidia/cuda:11.5.0-base-ubuntu20.04 nvidia-smi -L

```

But when I spin up a `plex` container and `exec shell` into it. I am unable to run `nvidia-smi` from inside the container and when plex `transcodes` videos, it is unable to see the GPU.  
I am running `nvidia-device-plugin-daemonset` within my `K3S cluster` via Rancher’s GUI and it is showing `active`

Here is my docker version:

```auto

```

Plex itself works fine, I spun it up using `linuxserver.io`. But it is unable to use my GPU.  
What else could I try?

thanks
