Either way. I prefer lxc, personally, but to each their own. lxc I think is drastically easier, in part because you don't need to pass through the whole GPU....
You don't need to pass the igpu, you just need to give the LXC access to render and video groups, but yes, editing the conf is easiest. I originally wrote out a bunch here, then remembered there is a great video.

Do they show up as resources? I add my mount points at the CLI personally, this is the best way imo:
pct set 100 -mp0 /mnt/pve/NAS/media,mp=/mediaThis is done from the host, not inside the LXC.
Does your host see the mounted NAS? After you added the mount point, did you fully stop the container and start it up again?
Edit: You can just install curl/wget/etc BTW, its just Debian in there.
apt install curlEdit 2: I must have glossed over the mount part.
Dont add your network storage manually, do it through proxmox as storage, by going to Datacenter > Storage > Add, and enter the details there. This will make things a lot easier.
I'd love to check that, but you lost me...
So the NAS was added like you suggested; I can see the NAS's storage listed next to local data. How does one command an lxc or vm to use it though?
This line right here shares it with the LXC, I'll break it down for you:
pct set 100 -mp0 /mnt/pve/NAS/media,mp=/mediapct is the proxmox container command, youre telling it to set the mount point (mp0, mp1, mp2, etc). That point on the host is /mnt/pve/yourmountname. In the container is on the right, mp=/your/path/. So inside the container if you did an ls command in the directory /your/path/, it would list the files in /mnt/pve/yourmountname.
The yourmountname part is the name of the storage you added. You can go to the shell at the host level in the GUI, and go to /mnt/pve/ then enter ls and you will see the name of your mount.
So much like I was mentioning with the GPU, what youre doing here is sharing resources with the container, rather than needing to mount the share again in your container. Which you could do, but I wouldn't recommend.
Any other questions I'll be happy to help as best as I can.
Edit: forgot to mention, if you go to the container and go to the resources part, you'll see "Mount Point 0" and the mount point you made listed there.
