This is to automate the updating of proxmox host when there is a kernel update which will break the LXC link to the GPU.
It just requires you to reinstall the graphics driver and do a reboot otherwise.
This is after you have done an update / upgrade of your proxmox host.
You will have to change the IP Addresses for your setup.
For me..
10.77.69.2 – Proxmox Host
10.77.69.103 – LXC Plex

This will check to see if the kernels for nvidia (my gpu) has been loaded, if not it will reinstall in silent mode. This will also flag a GPU install in ansible to also reinstall the GPU driver in the LXC, only if it needs though.
