If your home lab relies on an NVIDIA GPU for Plex transcoding, AI inferencing (Ollama), or VM hardware passthrough, this...

I recently deployed a monitoring stack using Prometheus and Grafana within a lightweight LXC container, which I will post more about later. Everything was working perfectly until I decided to add metrics for my Plex Media Server....
