Comment on Add HTPC capabilities to home server

i also would like a solution that doesn’t require a dedicated GPU

for security issues i don’t really like to give direct access to the whole server just to watch movies (yes, i could create a limited user on a limited group that can access the movies directory and nothing else, but then because i’m not a linux guru…)

i’d like to have a VM running on the integrated GPU

setting up a graphical session with a non-root user and sandboxing Jellyfin media player would be relatively easily, for example using only flatpak, you could sandbox it so it only has access to your media path.

Proxmox would help. It’s great for running VMs and managing hardware

  It’s been over a year and a half since I built this setup, and to this day I kick myself for not building everything on top of proxmox. That being said, I’m on a rather limited hardware, so I don’t know how much better would be to migrate to it (R3 3200G, 6gb of ram)

    How can I get a UI from a Proxmox server?

  i tried but i had no luck in reassigning the igpu to the vm. It only works with a dedicated one :(

    On proxmox you should be able to share any GPU (integrated or dedicated) to multiple LXCs while keeping it accessible to the host. I use intel integrated GPU in LXC for plex, jellyfin, and one with just ffmpeg I use to convert videos occasionally. I used these instructions as starting point/base when I set mine up on proxmox v7.x, …proxmox.com/…/plex-hw-transcoding-lxc-and-jasper…
    
    I had looked at instructions to assign the GPU to a specific VM but it looked like way too much work and people were saying it didn’t always work for the 11th gen iGPUs. Thankfully I ran across the sharing method and it’s been running stable since.

    How long ago?
    Seems like a write up here about how to do it:

Cleanest is to just separate the server from the client.
