Hey all, been running TrueNAS Scale for a few months now on a PC I built along with Proxmox on another mini PC I bought.

I tried setting up my media server on TrueNAS scale but didn't like my NAS running hot and being used so much but tried setting up Jellyfin and the arr media suite on Proxmox but ran into some issues with NFS shares and also SMB shares from TrueNAS along with config issues.

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or recommendations on how I should setup my media server and home network.

I have a very similar setup. Jellyfin in Docker on a Debian VM (2 cores, 8GB RAM), and all the media on the NAS. The CIFS/SMB from the NAS is mounted in fstab. I keep all the metadata locally for speed - ie not on the NAS. I don't like the extra layer of running Docker, but it works like a charm whereas I had a few hassles running Jellyfin natively in the VM. I do have a special 'media' user with the name and password in the mount command which only has permissions for the media.

Can't comment on the arrs suite since I get all my linux distros on those disks attached to the front of magazines.
