Suggestions for Server Setup - exen904 - 2023-11-27
Hi all,
I was using Jellyfin until recently on my QNAP NAS with the unofficial QNAP app https://github.com/pdulvp/jellyfin-qnap. That was working without any issues until now, my NAS installed an automatic update and decided to remove the Jellyfin App, as it was not found in the official repo. Now I am thinking about changing my setup.
I do have an Proxmox Server that is running 24/7 as VM/LXC/Docker host and the NAS as storage/backup location which is only running with WoL on demand and at specific times for the backup of the proxmox server. Now I was thinking about moving Jellyfin to the Proxmox Host and only using the NAS as media storage. as the storage on my proxmox host is too limited for that usecase (and the NAS does hold all my media files)
Any recommendations/suggetions on that? For the conection to the NAS, I could setup an NFS access for Jellyfin to the NAS. What Im not so sure about is, if the storage will work properly with the WoL on the NAS. So re-connect automatically if I wake up the NAS without manual intervention needed.
And the general setup of Jellyfin on Proxmox, VM, LXC or Docker.

None?

There are too many follow up questions to give any meaningful answer. For example, is jellyfin only for local use, how many users, is transcoding needed, etc.
VM/LXC or Docker comes down to usecase but mostly personal preference. Take a look here for help with LXC: https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/
As for NFS. My Jellyfin runs on docker, being autoupdated by Watchtower 03:00 every night, with media libraries mounted through soft NFS mount directly through docker. Whenever I restart the NFS-server, jellyfin will re-establish the connection almost immediately whenever it's available after the restart.
Same thing for when I hosted jellyfin as LXC, with NFS share mounted in fstab.

It is very strange to hear it regarding QNAP NAS and Jellyfin
I have QNAP TS-251D (before I had TS-230)
I make qpkg Jellyfin myself and everyting works fine.

It looks like QNAP offers Container Station (https://www.qnap.com/en/software/container-station) could you run that and then just install dockerized Jellyfin? That eliminates remote mounts, etc., and would probably restart the server nearly as quickly as the NAS itself. I know that it works well with Synology NAS, I'd think QNAP would be quite similar!
