[Feature Request] Nvidia GPU driver update

[pretbc]

Describe the feature

Recently drivers in beta are 595 which are unable for lxc image

I have to create some mod for your script

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# SCRIPT_DESC: Install NVIDIA Cuda and Kernel drivers
# SCRIPT_DETECT: command -v nvidia-smi &>/dev/null

echo ">>> Pinning NVIDIA driver version to 590.48.01"
cat <<EOF > /etc/apt/preferences.d/nvidia-pin
Package: *nvidia* libcuda* libnv* firmware-nvidia-gsp
Pin: version 590.48.01*
Pin-Priority: 1001
EOF

apt update

echo ">>> Installing Proxmox headers for current kernel"
apt install -y proxmox-headers-"$(uname -r)"

echo ">>> Downloading and installing NVIDIA CUDA keyring"
wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/debian13/x86_64/cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb
dpkg -i cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb
rm cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb

apt update

echo ">>> Installing NVIDIA driver packages"
# Because of the pin we set above, apt will automatically grab the 590 version for everything.
apt install -y nvidia-driver-cuda nvidia-kernel-dkms

echo ">>> Please reboot the system now"

then LXC was able to install drivers

• would be good to specify which driver to install if some are in beta choosing from:

apt list -a nvidia-driver-cuda

---

Also after host reboot we can loos

dev/nvidia-modeset
dev/nvidia-uvm (missing)

prevent it

nano /etc/systemd/system/nvidia-nodes.service

then

RemainAfterExit=yes

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Hello @pretbc

This script installs the lastest stable drivers ( https://github.com/jammsen/proxmox-setup-scripts/blob/main/host/004%20-%20install-nvidia-drivers.sh ).

I dont understand your FR it seems, what is it that you acutally want? Some Beta-Drivers? Also what should this "After Host Reboot" part do? Why do that? Whats the Problem?
