Issue: TASK ERROR: Device /dev/dri/card1 does not exist #

Root cause: Device /dev/dri/cardX numbering is not stable by design.

Solution: Bind your Plex LXC to a stable device path or group, not to a numeric card index.

In LXC container config: /etc/pve/lxc/<CTID>.conf:

Add:

lxc.mount.entry: /dev/dri dev/dri none bind,optional,create=dir
lxc.cgroup2.devices.allow: c 226:* rwm
