Proxmox VS cockpit-file-sharing

There's no one right way to do this. For me, I focused on isolation and containment. So I used LXCs for everything with Plex as the only Privileged container. All other *arrs remained unprivileged. My data resides on a NAS elsewhere in my network so I had to set up SMB sharing to all the LXCs and as you'll find out, that becomes less than intuitive. I wrote a guide here that details how I configured everything.

I used the lxc script from tteck to set up a new plex installation in a lxc. https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox Installed nfs-common and updated /etc/fstab so I mounted all the media shares from my synology.

The actual scripts: https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox

After poking at a couple of these, they seem like they're 50% shiny packaging and 50% one-liner bash commands.

Then, I tried installing Jellyfin using scripts. That went better than my previous attempt. However, I still could not get the mounted storage to appear on Jellyfin UI. I googled the issue and experimented with several solutions like mounting the storage on the Proxmox server. When I added a new library (using ip), Jellyfin started scanning. it seems like the Jellyfin is doing something because the CPU was running up to ~70%.so, I left it overnight. When I checked in the morning, I still don’t see any videos on Jellyfin UI. I checked the logs and I saw that it threw access denied error to a /proc/, but nothing why it couldn’t display files on the mounted storage. My current setup only has a built in GPU, 1 x 1TB SSD (im looking to add more storage later on) and the mounted storage only has 25 videos ~200-500 MB.

The HA VM took about five minutes, all created by using this script: bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/vm/haos-vm.sh)"

I had an acl issues configuration using NPM on docker ( proxmox > LXC > Docker > NPM) when using IPV6. So now I'm using lxc on unprivileged LXC using this script. https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox

my major issue: I tried to install tailscale on nextcloudpi and it didn't work, even tried to use this command line: bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/misc/add-tailscale-lxc.sh)" -s 106 also didnt work for with nextcloudpi. But Tailscale installed perfectly on NPM.

I set up on proxmox with the help of this. https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox

This github repo is a great place to start with LXCs https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/ct/scrypted.sh)"

I just build a new Proxmox server, and it has a ZFS pool that I'd like to share via NFS/SMB with other hosts on my network. I want to do as little on the Proxmox host as possible, so I figured I'd mount the ZFS pool in an unprivileged Ubuntu 22.04 LXC container that runs cockpit and cockpit-file-sharing to easily manage NFS and SMB shares. Should be simple, right?

I am a fan of virtualization and run a three-node Proxmox cluster along with a Hyper-V host at home. I avoided Docker for years because I couldn't wrap my head around it. A couple of months ago, I migrated my NAS from being a Proxmox VM to bare-metal. It runs minimal Debian 11 (no desktop GUI) and the Cockpit web UI with the 45Drives Cockpit File Sharing extension for managing the server and file shares, respectively. I also installed Docker Engine and a Portainer container for managing containers. The system, a 2C/4T i3 CPU with 16 GB RAM, easily runs 19 containers.

My NAS is simply minimal Debian 11 running the Cockpit web UI (https://cockpit-project.org/) with the 45Drives Cockpit File Sharing application (https://github.com/45Drives/cockpit-file-sharing) for managing SMB and NFS shares. I use MDADM (Linux software RAID), but 45Drives also has a ZFS management Cockpit application as well. Cockpit is in the Debian repository, see https://cockpit-project.org/running#debian. Give Cockpit a look. You can easily “apt remove” if you don’t like it.

Hi, I'm using Cockpit to manage my Ubuntu server and I want to mount a network share (Synology NAS) through the web interface. Under the "Storage" page it is possible to mount a NFS share with options such as auto-mount at boot and such, and this is exactly what I need for Samba. I found a third-party plugin to manage Samba shares (link), but it can only create new and manage shares and not mount existing network shares (I think, I haven't tried it yet). Does anyone know how to mount SMB shares using Cockpit? Thanks in advance.

45-drives makes a plugin for the web interface for nas features (use the "install from RPM" install option). You'd also need this plugin

Some important services for me: 1. Wireguard: I have bypass rules in Authelia since I’m too lazy to login to my services. Wireguard also provides adblock on-the-go. 2. Samba server: use to transfer files between iPhone/iPad/laptop. Didn’t expect I’m depending on it too much. 3. Webtop: aka my lite/fake VM. I mounted my data directory to this container, mostly use it when i need GUI to move/edit files on my server. Accessible through web browser or RDP protocol. 4. Diversion: adblock on Asus router. Easy to setup adblock with vpn. Also no need to setup 2 Adblock instances. Another advantage, asus router can force all dns queries through this, bypass hard coded dns on some devices. 5. Cockpit with file sharing plugin: easily manage samba/nfs share

there's plugins for cockpit like: https://github.com/45Drives/cockpit-file-sharing
