[Proxmox] Jellyfin w/ NAS mount + iGPU passthrough (sh.itjust.works)

Fresh Proxmox install, having a dreadful time. Trying not to be dramatic, but this is much worse than I imagined. I'm trying to migrate services from my NAS (currently docker) to this machine.

How should Jellyfin be set up, lxc or vm? I don't have a preference, but I do plan on using several docker containers (assuming I can get this working within 28 days) in case that makes a difference. I tried WunderTech's setup guide which used an lxc for docker containers and a separate lxc of jellyfin. However that guide isn't working for me: curl doesn't work on my machine, most install scripts don't work, nano edits crash, and mounts are inconsistent.

My Synology NAS is mounted to the host, but making mount points to the lxc doesn't actually connect data. For example, if my NAS's media is in /data/media/movies or /data/media/shows and the host's SMB mount is /data/, choosing the lxc mount point /data/media should work, right?

Is there a way to enable iGPU to pass to an lxc or VM without editing a .conf in nano? When I tried to make suggested edits, the lxc freezes for over 30 minutes and seemingly nothing happens as the edits don't persist.

Any suggestions for resource allocation? I've been looking for guides or a formula to follow for what to provide an lxc or VM to no avail.

If you suggest command lines, please keep them simple as I have to manually type them in.

Here's the hardware: Intel i5-13500 64GB Crucial DR5-4800 ASRock B760M Pro RS 1TB WD SN850X NVMe

Interesting, what browser do you use? Sounds like I may have to switch from Firefox if that's the case because this lack of quality of life is ridiculous

[–] jjffnn@feddit.dk 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I use firefox as well, on linux mint, not windows. So if you use windows, that may be the culprit. I haven't used it in a long time so i don't know if that could be the case.

Well, this is the first step in me eventually dropping Windows (assuming all goes well). I'd like to wipe my main PC and do a dual-boot situation eventually, but migrating services to an actual server takes priority...got kiddos counting on their cartoons, can't let em down

I know how you feel. I hope you succeed both with your server and throwing out windows.
Godspeed on your linux journey.
