Hey there! i have an Owncast container that needs two extra files added to it every time it starts up because the base image doesn’t include them. they can be downloaded from within the container. i just need a way to tell the container to always do that when it starts up. i’ve tried adding this to ...

ooo i see. ok i did not consider that

it's all in the edited op!


well, we can download these libraries from within the container. i just want a way to tell the container to always do that on startup

Podman quadlet adding files to container
Hey there!
i have an Owncast container that needs two extra files added to it every time it starts up because the base image doesn't include them. they can be downloaded from within the container. i just need a way to tell the container to always do that when it starts up.
i've tried adding this to my quadlet:
[Container]
Exec=apk update && apk add --no-cache mesa-va-gallium mesa-dri-gallium
but it doesn't work.
does anyone know how to correctly automate this?
thanks!

thank you, i figured it out!

so, actually no change even with setting SELinux to Permissive. so i guees it isn't SELinux after all...

AMD Radeon RX 7600
6.15.4-1-default
i have not tried that. i'll give that a go. i ASSUME it's a selinux permissions issue, but i thought i had that all cleared.

Owncast, SELinux, Podman, Hardware Accelaration
SOLVED: turns out mesa is not enough for this. i also had to install:
mesa-va-gallium mesa-dri-gallium
now we're good!
hi all!
i've hit a wall here and could use your input if you have any thoughts!
i'm running Owncast latest via rootful Podman on a distro with SELinux.
i'm trying to implement hardware acceleration via the server's AMD GPU, but it is not working.
AMD Radeon RX 7600
Kernel: 6.15.4-1-default
i've turned VAAPI on in the web admin settings.
the container comes with ffmpeg 6 and libva.
For SELinux, i've run:
setsebool -P container_use_devices true
In my quadlet i've added:
[Container]
AddDevice=/dev/dri
Exec=apk add mesa
the devices appear rw in the container:
/app # ls -l /dev/dri
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root 486 226, 0 Jul 9 15:58 card0
crw-rw---- 1 root 489 226, 128 Jul 9 15:58 renderD128
here is the error i'm getting:
