# Install Kodi in an LXC and Connect it to a Monitor/TV Using GPU Acceleration
|
|
|
|
In this guide, we'll see how we can easily install Kodi in an LXC container using our Proxmox resources and connect it to our television using GPU acceleration, turning our Proxmox server into an all-in-one server.
|
|
|
|
We'll use the script created by user [mrrudy](https://github.com/mrrudy).
|
|
|
|
To be able to use a keyboard, mouse, or any USB controller after installation, we must install the container with privileges.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mrrudy/proxmoxHelper/main/ct/kodi-v1.sh)"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Be patient, it takes time to install.
|
|
Access to tty7 means we can now connect our monitor or TV.
|
|
|
|
### Keyboard, Mouse, or USB Controller
|
|
|
|
The keyboard, mouse, or USB controllers are /dev/input devices. To add them to the LXC, we need to know their code:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ls -l /dev/input
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In my case, the code is 13.
|
|
|
|
We add to our LXC configuration:
|
|
For example, 102 is the id of my Kodi container
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nano /etc/pve/lxc/102.conf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add these lines:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
lxc.cgroup2.devices.allow = c 13:* rwm
|
|
lxc.mount.entry: /dev/input dev/input none bind,optional,create=dir
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When we're done, we restart Proxmox:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
reboot
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Updating Kodi
|
|
|
|
Inside the container's console:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt install kodi kodi-bin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When it's finished, we restart, and when it boots up, we'll have Kodi updated.
