radarr, docker & nvenc

Anyone done this? Got a set of repeatable instructions? My understanding is that the root docker image needs to switch from alpine to ubuntu and that hasn't happened yet.

I don't have exact instructions off the top of my head but you need to install the nvidia container runtime and set the container's runtime to nvidia. I can't think of a reason why radarr would need nvenc though; jellyfin, plex or tdarr sure.
- For conversion of videos after download. I don't use tdarr. Doing what you suggest works for Sonarr, but not radar because of different base images. Two different groups maintaining those projects I guess.
  
  Edit: this is the issue I'm speaking about in particular:

  Highly recommend using tdarr. Not just because the radarr container won't do it, but because tdarr is so incredibly powerful.
  
  It's still not clear to me why you'd need nvenc for radarr.
  
  I don't think that's a feature of radarr, could you point it out in the UI or docs?
