1	+	We will pass a GPU through to a proxmox container and utilize it for video transcoding.
2	+
3	+	In PVE Host shell

5	+	`uname -r`
6	+
7	+	- Install headers
8	+	`apt install pve-headers`
9	+	- Blacklist nouveau
10	+	`nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf`
11	+	- Add lines
12	+	`blacklist nouveau`

15	+	- Reboot!
16	+
17	+	- Install dependencies
18	+	`apt install build-essential`
19	+	- Download driver (https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us)
20	+	`wget {YOUR-DRIVER-URL)`
21	+	- Make the driver file executable
22	+	`chmod +x {YOUR-DRIVER-FILE}`
23	+	- Install the driver
