Firefox widevine working in Rocky Linux Podman container on Freebsd
I have managed to get Firefox working with widevine for drm playback working in a Rocky Linux Podman container on Freebsd
Without the Nvidia driver installed in the container using some witchcraft
devfs.rules, starting pulseaudio on the Frebsd host using pavucontrol and mounting the wayland and pulseaudio sockets from Freebsd inside the Podman container
using the dummy-uvm and mounting some of the Linuxulator directories for the Nvidia driver from the Freebsd host to the container and lots of other settings as well
Firefox settings to get the widevine to download and install and hardware accelerated video playback
with persistent settings as well so when you restart the container all your extensions and settings are preversed
Picture in Picture also works so you can pop the video out and display it on a second monitor
Tested using Youtube free with ads movies which use drm, successfully playing back a 1080p video on the second display with ublock origin installed to block the ads
See the attached screenshot
Cuda works in the container as well as nvenc encoding which i use in a ffmpeg container
Im creating github project for this, so now i have cracked Cuda, ffmpeg nvenc encoding and Firefox widevine drm playback i should be able to create containers for different Linux applications
In theory python applications that use Cuda like Whisperx, Stable diffusion, Comfy UI should also be possible
As well as thing like Davinci Resolve as well
Ill do a youtube video about this and post a heads up when its upload
