Install vGPU & Bypass NVIDIA License on Proxmox using FastAPI-DLS and Patched Drivers
This guide explains how to run NVIDIA vGPU on Proxmox using FastAPI-DLS and patched drivers, without relying on the official NVIDIA License Server.
It is intended for users with supported or partially supported GPUs (such as RTX A4000 / A5000 / A6000) who want to unlock vGPU functionality in their virtual machines (Ubuntu or Windows) for AI (Ollama, vLLM), compute, or media workloads.
You need to check if your GPU is supported : https://docs.nvidia.com/vgpu/gpus-supported-by-vgpu.html
If not, you can still use vGPU by following this tutorial and mine to enable vGPU on consumer GPUs : https://gitlab.com/polloloco/vgpu-proxmox
