Wait, I thought that you need either a hacked driver or a very expensive license to split up Nvidia GPUs, even within containers?

Wasn't it just a very expensive GPU which basically had a flag that enabled the feature in the driver? I seem to recall reading about people unlocking their NVIDIA GPUs to allow the nested virtualization.

Shout out to Wolf, which on Linux actually allows you to run multiple sessions on one GPU: https://github.com/games-on-whales/wolf
Thanks for the unexpected shout-out to Wolf (I'm the main dev behind it)!
I'm not sure this does split up the GPU. One of the listed self-hosted requirements is "Your Nvidia GPU should not be attached to a running X display server." Sounds like exclusive GPU use to me.
