yes I had it already, but did not work with unprivileged LXC.

Oh, it works somehow...

My idea was a little bit more complicate: I have some NVIDIA-
Cards in the server. I can bind-mount the devices in the LXC
and get a list of GPUs via nvidia-smi in the LXC. But this 
seems not wo work with docker :-/

There is an nivida-docker available, but that throws strange
error messages.

Best regards

Dirk
