  • Fixing a Nvidia driver mismatch that was causing the newest kernel module to not build properly (that might not be the right terminology) and not boot was on my list, as discovered after a node reboot that wouldn’t start.

    It was fairly straightforward, though finding a way to fully remove some of the old DKMS stuff took a bit of digging (manually delete a couple files). The new driver installs went smoothly and the improved GPU passthrough in PVE 9 made the passthrough config tasks pretty quick.

    I also got go2rtc set up and piped my cameras through that instead of having individual connections for things like Home Assistant and Blue Iris NVR. I’m still struggling to get the motion notifications in Home Assistant to work though. Followed a tutorial on (that other site) and got the MQTT message coming in just fine, but the node-red flow isn’t working…an issue with entities, so still some tinkering left to do there.

    Gonna throw in another Reolink recommendation. I use Blue Iris as my NVR and have both that and the Reolink integrations in Home Assistant for motion notifications and lighting control. The cameras are durable (even in my very cold temps like -30C) and have really good image quality. If you don’t have an NVR or Home Assistant, the built-in motion detection and app is still pretty good and you can just pop an SD card in for recording.
