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
So I got Jellyfin running last night as an unprivileged LXC using a community script. It’s accessible via web browser, and I could connect my NAS. Now I’m having NAS-server connection issues and “fatal player” issues on certain items. I appreciate the support, I’m going to need a lot of it haha
This is most likely because of encoding. Did you change any settings in jellyfin for hardware acceleration? Have you passed theough your GPU? You will need to find out what codecs your GPU supports and enable those in the jellyfin hardware encoding spot.
I tried taking a screenshot of the full page to show you, but yes it’s set to QSV and /dev/dri/renderD128. I’ve tried QSV and VAAPI with similar results, I’m sticking with QSV for now as it’s Jellyfin’s official recommendation. I’ve enabled decoding for H264, HEVC, VP9, and AVI. I’ve enabled hardware encoding for H264 and HEVC. If I disable transoding completely it works fine, but some of the streaming devices need 720p functionality (ideally to transcode down to 4:3 480i).
