I want to use Jellyfin on Proxmox, if that is a thing. After reading a post here where most people recommended Debian as host OS I want to make a VM running Debian and install Jellyfin Server there.

Now I have a few questions:

I see many people install Jellyfin via docker. Does that have any advantages? I would prefer to avoid docker as it adds a level of complexity for me.
where do I save my media? I have a loose plan to run a second VM running openMediaVault where all my HDDs are passed through and then use NFS to mount a folder on the Jellyfin VM. Is that a sane path?
what do I have to consider on Proxmox, to get the best hardware results on Jellyfin? Do I need some special passthrough magic to get it running smoothly? I don't have a dedicated GPU, does that make the configuration easier?

I wonder, after making these changes is it the same security wise as making the container unprivileged=0?

[-] revv@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Nope. It just maps a single user and group from the container to a regular user on the host. With the above config, root in the container has the "real" UID of 100000. It can't make changes to anything any other unprivileged user can. A privileged container otoh runs root as root. It can do a lot of damage. By running privileged containers you're kind of throwing out a good portion of LXC's benefits.

That makes sense. Thanks.
