Hi!
I am running Proxmox on my self built Debian Server and a docker VM (not LXC).
I managed to pass through the Blu-Ray-Sata-Drive to my Docker VM and mapped it but it is not recognized …
Code: Select all
networks:
frontend:
external: true
backend:
external: true
services:
makemkv:
image: jlesage/makemkv
container_name: makemkv
devices:
- "/dev/sr0:/dev/sr0"
environment:
# - USER_ID=1000
# - GROUP_ID=1000
- TZ=Europe/Berlin
- UMASK=022
volumes:
- /srv/rip/config/makemkv:/config
- /mnt/Filme/mkv:/storage
ports:
- "5800:5800"
restart: unless-stopped
Any ideas what to check?
Thank you!

Have you tried adding "--privileged" (privileged: true under makemkv: for compose) just to see if it works at all? If you run it privileged and it still doesn't work, but it does work on the host, then the most likely cause is that it isn't actually mounted at sr0, it may actually be at sr1, sr2,....
ie:
Code: Select all
networks:
frontend:
external: true
backend:
external: true
services:
makemkv:
privileged: true
... the rest

Hi and thanks for your reply!
I tried it and it still does not work.
Maybe proxmox pass through mechanic is the problem.
I will try putting it back into the USB Enclosure and connect it there and pass through the USB Port …
Or does the screenshot indicate anything else i could try?

Hello
pass through via Proxmox did not work (via the UI).
It was a generic "pass through standard dvd drive".
I had to pass the controller directly in the host OS.
1. Unbind the proxmox connection
2. bind raw PCIe device with ID
Sorry i have no further instructions - i used chatgpt for help but it works now.
An easier option would be to directly install it on the host os not inside proxmox / docker but i wanted to go this way.
