[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

"Hosts on 192.168.0.4:" As a novice, I get the feeling that means it's not working

If you've got nothing under it, yeah.

OK, what I'd probably do is shutdown proxmox, reboot your nas, wait for the nas to be fully up and running (check if you can access it from your regular computer over the lab), then boot up the proxmox server.

Then run that command again, you should see a result.

Its possible you've got some conflicting stuff going on if you did manual edits for the storage, which may need to be cleaned up.

I restarted everything like you suggested, same 'showmount' result unfortunately...I double checked the SMB mount in the datacenter, and the settings look correct to me. The NAS's storage icon shows that it's connected, but it seems like that doesn't actually mean it's *firmly *connected

Ok, lets take a step back then and check things this way.

In shell (So datacenter, the host, then shell), if you enter ls -la /mnt/pve/thenameofyourmount/, do you get an accurate and current listing of the contents of your nas?
