[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

There is a helper script for jellyfin LXC. From memory I can't help much, but I suggest searching for that. I think the default specs for disk space and RAM were weak, But setup was easy enough. After the initial helper script, you will need to learn how to mount the NAS into the LXC as well.

I want to say iGPU makes things easier, not because of experience but only because I tried passing through an Nvidia card and the instructions all insinuated this was more difficult than any other option

If youre going LXC, its not going to matter much of you just map GIDs and provide the LXC access to the host.

Side bonus, multiple LXCs and they can all share that GPU. This is what I do, I have a couple of JF instances among other containers that use the GPUs.

Edited to add: Well, nvidia itself can be a pain. But that'd be because nvidia.

I tried, the script gave me errors
