How best to store a media library in proxmox?

Hey all, I've got ZFS pool created and just create a VM drive in that pool like normal, then Jellyfin just has that drive mounted. I think I'm losing the best parts of ZFS through this manner.

How should I set this up properly? Create a media pool or something and have VMs accessing the pool directly?

  • That works fine.

    The other option is run a container instead of a VM and just pass-through a ZFS filesystem directly.

    • That might be a better option really. I might check that out. I kind if wish Proxmox had Docker integration instead of lxc but that's a different topic.

      • The easy option is run docker in a privileged LXC container, it's basically like running it directly on Proxmox and will have no permissions issues.
