[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

Yes, just using the iGPU. Thought about an Nvidia card, but setting it up sounded like torture so just whatever is on the i5-13500 for now

So this looks good then?

[–] Tinkerer@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah I would say so. You still having issues?

[–] LazerDickMcCheese@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I'm about to start the process of trashing the system and starting anew with Ubuntu Server. Even if I had 24/7 community support, I think I'd still dread dealing with Proxmox. The whole reason I hopped on the Prox train was that videos make it seem like an alternative to deep-diving into cli...but everything I've been doing is cli, so screw it
