Enabling Intel Quick Sync after installing Nvidia GPU

I’m currently using linuxserver.io’s jellyfin container and enjoying it a lot.

Previously, I was able to enable Intel Quick Sync by following instruction on this page under the Hardware Acceleration>Intel section. From what I understood, the only line I had to add to my docker compose file was:

    devices:
      - /dev/dri:/dev/dri

However, after I installed a Quadro P2000, it seems like I am no longer able to, despite configuring docker compose the exact same way. Is this expected? Does installing a discrete GPU disable the iGPU?

To install the GPU, I did a bunch of stuff including updating all packages, installing new packages and configuring the GPU for use in the container, following instructions from the Hardware Acceleration>Nvidia section of the same page. I therefore cannot confidently say that physically installing the GPU itself was the cause of this change.

Previously, running vainfo inside the container console gave me

This is the expect behavior of vainfo as it only checks the default render node on your system.

You can change 128 to 129 and try again.

./vainfo --display drm --device /dev/dri/renderD129
