Just built a new Frankenbox PC. Intel I7-14700, 64GB ram, 1 x 1TB and 1 x 4TB M.2 SSD, Gigabyte Z790 board. The primary use is an NVR app called Blueiris that I have used for years to manage 18 misc. POE IP cameras. I started with bare metal Ubuntu Server and installed KVM but found that Blueiris ran better with bare metal Windows 11 and did not need the Gigabyte 3060 video card that was in the original install (board has on-board graphics).
Now I find myself with a LOT of extra cycles and memory and am considering moving my Jellyfin instance off a HP DL380 G9 server (Ubuntu QEMU/KVM virtualized) to this new box. I don't really want to run JF on native Winders and later have to reinstall Windows and wreck everything so I am considering a type 2 Virtualization app like Virtualbox (or Hyper-V). I *think* that if I do this I should probably reinstall the 3060 graphics card for Jellyfin's benefit. I have not really found the write-up that tells me that Hyper-V or Virtualbox is the "better" solution for GPU passthru.
What would you recommend?
note: my media library is currently on NAS and available either from an Ubuntu NFS server or a Synology array (backup). All devices have 10G NICs and are connected to a 10G switch.
