So if you're going through the trouble of setting up proxmox, I would setup the majority of the storage in a ZFS pool for a TrueNAS SMB share/NFS share. Then create a small container just to host jellyfin and jellyfin's cache--maybe commit 10GB of storage to it--really depends on how big your media library is. Mine is about 5TB and cache, metadata, and other misc things take up about 8GB.
Setting up your share is enough for jellyfin. Since the media and jellyfin are stored on the same metal, additional latency will be sub 100ms. Create a library in Jellyfin and set it to the share;
Movies: \\nas\Movies,TV: \\nas\TV, etc.Works flawlessly and would have more utility than allocating the entirety of your storage to your jellyfin container because it functions as a normal NAS. I've been running with a setup like this for a while and it works great.
Why bother with truenas? Just put the media in a zfs pool and mount it directly into jellyfin.
You can do a share any number of ways. I simply banked on the fact that anyone willing to ask the question likely doesn't know how to setup SMB shares without a GUI like TrueNAS.
Yes, not course. I forgot about the gui, that's valid.
