A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

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.

Oh, that works? That's some inception level containering right there

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