[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

The easiest solution if you want to have managed VMs IMHO is to just make a large VM for all your docker stuff on Proxmox and then you get the best of both worlds.

Abstracting docker into its own VM isn’t going to add THAT much overhead, and the convenience of Proxmox for management of the other VMs will make that situation much easier.

LXC for docker can be made to work, but it’s fiddly and it probably won’t gain you much in the long run.

Now, all these other issues you seem to be having with the Proxmox host itself; are you sure you have networking set up correctly, etc? curl should be working no problem; I’m not sure what’s going on there.

That's good to know at least. I was getting anxious last night thinking that I signed up for something I'd never get running. So curl is working now...not sure why it wasn't earlier, but I've used it since and it is confirmed working. And networking (as in internet connectivity) is working, but now I'm struggling with the NAS mount: it was working perfectly at first, but now it's randomly shifting between "available" and "unknown".
