Ubuntu server 22.04 installing Nvidia drivers with libnvcuvid1 without also installing GUI

$

I have had a working setup using tdarr inside a docker container for multiple months now, but it stopped working after an update to the container and my ubuntu packages.

Tracking down the issue led me to simply update the nvidia driver version I was using since it was no longer compatible with my version of ubuntu.

So far I can get the drivers installed, and have my GPU detected by nvidia-smi. But the issue I am facing is that the library libnvcuvid1 is missing from my system, and tdarr won't be able to transcode because of this.

While installing the nvidia drivers, I can see that libnvcuvid1 is listed in the recommended packages, but I don't want to install the recommended packages using apt because this will also install a bunch of stuff I don't need, including a GUI.

This is the command I use to install the drivers:

apt install --no-install-recommends nvidia-cuda-toolkit nvidia-headless-550 nvidia-utils-550

I figured that after I run this command, I should just be able to run this one to install the missing package:

apt install libnvcuvid1

But this one gives this output:

Reading package lists... DoneBuilding dependency tree... DoneReading state information... DonePackage libnvcuvid1 is not available, but is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, oris only available from another sourceE: Package 'libnvcuvid1' has no installation candidate

I can't seem to find a way with apt to specify which recommended packages I'd like to install along my main package.

Is this something that can be done? Or are there any other alternative that would allow me to do that?
