Thanks! Its not easy, but I don’t give up. Took me 3 years to get the *arrs running, but I eventually got it

Well, now the jelly lxc is failing to boot "run_buffer: 571 Script exited with status 2 Lxc_init: 845 failed to run lxc.hook.pre-start for container “101"”

But the mount seems stable now. And the VM is Debian 12

Ah, that distinction makes sense…I should’ve thought of that

So for the record, my Jellyfin-lxc is 101 (SMB mount, problematic) and my catch-all Docker VM is 102 (haven’t really connected anything, and I don’t care how it’s done as long as performance is fine)

Yes! I do

Are there different rules for a VM with that command? I made a 2nd NAS share point as NFS (SMB has been failing, I’m desperate, and I don’t know the practical differences between the protocols), and Proxmox accepted the NFS, but the share is saying “unknown.” Regardless, I wanted to see if I could make it work anyway so I tried ‘pct set 102 -mp1 /mnt/pve/NAS2/volume2/docker,mp=/docker’

102 being a VM I set up for docker functions, specifically transferring docker data currently in use to avoid a lapse in service or user data.

Am I doing this in a stupid way? It kinda feels like it

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

So I got Jellyfin running last night as an unprivileged LXC using a community script. It’s accessible via web browser, and I could connect my NAS. Now I’m having NAS-server connection issues and “fatal player” issues on certain items. I appreciate the support, I’m going to need a lot of it haha

Well, this is the first step in me eventually dropping Windows (assuming all goes well). I’d like to wipe my main PC and do a dual-boot situation eventually, but migrating services to an actual server takes priority…got kiddos counting on their cartoons, can’t let em down

“Hosts on 192.168.0.4:” As a novice, I get the feeling that means it’s not working

That’s good to know at least. I was getting anxious last night thinking that I signed up for something I’d never get running. So curl is working now…not sure why it wasn’t earlier, but I’ve used it since and it is confirmed working. And networking (as in internet connectivity) is working, but now I’m struggling with the NAS mount: it was working perfectly at first, but now it’s randomly shifting between “available” and “unknown”.

Well, the plan was to use a couple VMs for niche things that I’d love to have and many services. But if I can’t get Proxmox working as advertised, I’ll throw most of that out of the window

Interesting, what browser do you use? Sounds like I may have to switch from Firefox if that’s the case because this lack of quality of life is ridiculous

I think I’m getting a grip on some of the basics here. I was trying to make a new mount for my NAS’s docker data…separate drive and data pool. In the process of repeated attempts to get the SMB mount to get accepted, I noticed my NAS’s storage isn’t working as intended suddenly.

‘cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg’ shows the NAS still ‘pvesm status’ says “unable to activate storage…does not exist or is unreachable”

I thought it was related to too much resource usage, but that’s not the case

Friend, thank you. My users and I greatly appreciate it. You just taught me how to solve one of the biggest problems I’ve been having. Just tested a movie through Jellyfin after using that cli.

Got any pointers for migrating config files from my NAS’s docker containers to Proxmox’s LXCs/VMs?

That’s where I’m at, dude. I bought into the idea of Proxmox because I was led to believe that it makes docker deployment easier…but I’m thinking it would actually work if I just used a VM

Do they show up as resources? I add my mount points at the CLI personally, this is the best way imo: pct set 100 -mp0 /mnt/pve/NAS/media,mp=/media

I’d love to check that, but you lost me…

So the NAS was added like you suggested; I can see the NAS’s storage listed next to local data. How does one command an lxc or vm to use it though?

Any tips on copy-pasting those commands into a console window? Every function I’ve tried has failed, but I’m willing to keep trying

Yes, I tried a couple of those. They were giving me errors
