You should be able to. I have a Jellyfin server running in Docker and hardware transcoding works fantastically

Jellyfin is so much nicer to use then plex.
Plex has better client support, specifically for Xbox.
You dont have to allocate the GPU to the container, if you do, you cant use it anywhere else. I'm running Jellyfin on Truenas scale and i'm passing the following enviroment variables for nvidia gpu transcoding. RUNTIME = nvidia NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES = all NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES = all
should be the same for plex.
Note that in order to use hardware transcoding you have to have plex pass.
@TurnItOff_OnAgain @TitanLaGrange and that's why I use Jellyfin.
I looked at Jellyfin, but it doesn't have a good app for the Xbox so I'm sticking with Plex for now.
I did try Jellyfin about a year again after being frustrated by the Plex API, but I had a lot of problems with the app on one of my TVs. I've since replaced that one though, so I should probably give it a try again, the move was pretty painless otherwise.
Good to know! I do have a plex pass, so I'm good there.
Truenas allows passing a graphics device to a container. I've never tried it, though.
I have the feeling that this is very dependant of the motherboard having virtualization support for the PCIE slot, but I can't recall the name of the feature
Ok, that's an interesting point, I'll keep that in mind if I run into issues, thanks!
