Hey all,
I’m running a DIY-built server on a J5040-ITX Link to the manual (PDF-Download), which features a PCIe x1 slot which I’d like to utilize with a graphics card. I found the Nvidia GT 730 2 GB which would fit, but I’m unsure, if it…
… works with nouveau, as I’m unable to find the GT 730, only the GT 730M in the list of codenames.
… if OMV (currently running OMV 7, going to upgrade to OMV 8 soonish) aka. Debian 12 (or 13, depends on OMV version) supports the proprietary driver.
Any ideas or recommendations?


It has, and I use this setup for years already. Thought about tinkering a bit, y’know? :-)
A good use case for GPU on OMV is jellyfin transcoding.

Try for a card with NVENC support.
P400 looks like you’d need a notched slot, tho.

Oh yes!
