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, I tried a couple of those. They were giving me errors

    The linked repository is unmaintained, and some of the scripts are broken as a result.
    The scripts have moved to this repository.
    Last time i used then they worked fine.
    Try the scripts in the new one, and if they still give you errors let me know and i'll be happy to try and help you.
    Also, please don't run scripts from the internet without reading trough them first. Even from a trusted source. You never know what random people could have written in there. 😅

    Can confirm. The scripts in the new repository work just fine. I've run a bunch of them.

    I was struggling with it for a bit, but I got it working. Main concern (before I check transcoding/acceleration) is NAS file sharing. Huge headache. The host is connected, but the lxc and vms don't use it

    May i be so bold as to ask about how much experience you have with linux?
    A basic understanding would go a long way i think.

    But to answer your question:
    You need to mount the nas drive directly to the lxc running jellyfin, not to the proxmox host.

    Any tips on copy-pasting those commands into a console window? Every function I've tried has failed, but I'm willing to keep trying

    It always works for me to just paste with ctrl+shift+v directly in the terminal window of the web gui.

    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

    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
