Hi everyone.
I have a chalenge that I would appreciate a little guidance and hand holding for.
My problem
I am running a proxmox home server.
Config in my signature.
Short outline is a 12 core 128gb ram
OS disk is zfs mirror on 2 120gb ssd
3 zfs pools of variose size for data storage.
A couple of terabytes collection of movies and pics.
I am just starting setting up my VMs so nothing is running yet except an lxc container with emby.
Well here is the issue. My emby server having a bit of a difficulty serving my movies as most of then are in mkv format and huge in size. I had to resize the main drive for VM 4 time now as it gets filled with temp files from emby transcodings.
So my question is.
If I do not have a dedicated graphics card in the server, besides I am not sure if I can passthrou to lxc. Can I build a headless vm/lxc where I can run a trancoder like handbreak for example and use that to convert my library to mp4?
What would be the most optimal config for this kind of setup.
What would be the best program to use . handbreak is great but I have only used it in gui mode.
An automation option would be nice to.
Thanks.
