Hi,

I stumble upon the Failed to open /dev/dri/renderD128 as DRM device node. in immich when trying to use HW acceleration for video transcoding:

The immich instance is freshly installed via the helper script. I did not install OpenVINO. My CPU is an i5-8500T with iGPU that should support QuickSync, afaik.

I do see the devices being created and passed through:

image 
root@immich:/opt/immich/upload# ls -l /dev/dri
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root video  226,   1 Jun 29 00:46 card1
crw-rw---- 1 root render 226, 128 Jun 29 00:46 renderD128

Am I misunderstanding the setup or is HW acceleration not supposed to work like this without further configuration? 🤔

The processes seem to run as the user immich who doesn't seem to be part of the groups video and render - is that the issue?

$ groups immich
immich : immich
```</div>

@vhsdream maybe pull out this code block outside of OpenVINO condition?

@mammuth Just want to confirm: did you choose a privileged LXC during installation?

Any updates? is there a guide to getting igpu passthrough and QuickSync working?
