    Jellyfin is very conveniently packaged in docker, so while it may seem daunting, I highly recommend at least trying that route.

    Running an nfs mount, docker or not, should be perfectly fine. Jellyfin just uses normal storage so won’t care if it’s nfs. No real special considerations with proxmox either, especially without worrying about a dedicated GPU. Just spin up a Debian guest and go.


  • Fortunately that’s not how it works when you have all the access points controlled centrally, like with unifi. Yes there is limited frequency space, but this is much less of an issue on 5ghz. There will also only be one ssid, and handoff between access points is pretty seamless.

    3-4 is probably overkill, but the attenuation situation sounded pretty dire. I run two in my house for redundancy mostly, just standard American stud and drywall construction.


  • If you have the ability to easily add wires, I would go with a system that allows you to wire everything together, rather than depending on a purely wifi mesh. Personally I’m running unifi ceiling mounted access points for this. They run on power over Ethernet, so you just need to get one cable to each. You can control them with their free software controller if you are into that, or something like their dream router.

    Run 3-4 of those access points placed throughout the house and you’ll never have a weak signal again.

    I do almost exactly the same, except I have opnsense running on a cheap dual nic mini PC so I don’t have that dependency on my proxmox servers. The unifi stuff does need a controller, but they publish a free app that you can run instead of getting their hardware.
