Freebsd Firefox Widevine for drm playback now working in a Rocky Linux Podman container
No Nvidia driver installed in the Podman container
works by mounting the Linuxulator directories for the Nvidia drivers from Freebsd to the Podman container
Hardware accelerated video playback
persistent Firefox settings stored on the Freebsd host so all your extensions,
bookmarks and settings are retained when you stop and restart the container
Wayland and Pulseaudio sockets for zero latency
The Podman container runs as the same user and id as on the Freebsd host
Downloads directory mounted from the Freebsd host to the podman container so you can upload and download files
Uses the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS from Freebsd so dekstop notifications also work
Picture in Picture so you can pop the video out and move it to your second monitor
I have Cuda working in Rocky Linux containers and nvenc encoding with ffmpeg as well
So i should be able to get anything that depends on Cuda working as well
Python applications like Whisperx, Stable Diffusion, Comfy UI
AI application like Ollama etc
Davinci Resolve, Handbrake
Working on a git repo so you can easily pull down all the files and build the containers
for different applications
Any suggestions for applications you would like to see
Only been back on Freebsd for about 2 weeks
