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.

            Yup, you can do it unprivileged as well but permissions can be funky with any mount points shared with other containers.
