UPDATED VIDEO: the ULTIMATE Home Server Setup - Full Walkthrough Guide Pt.1 (Proxmox, ZFS, Samba)
youtu.be/qmSizZUbCOA
NOTICE: At the time of recording I preferred those three containers separated. However, I am going to make an updated video of going over how to do my current set up. Essentially, everything is the same except for the LXC containers that I create are all within one. ie the vault, plex, and servarr containers are now just one called servarr. This making sharing virtual drives between LXC containers not necessary. I still have the same separate data and docker volumes attached.
How I switched to this was just by installing Plex and my Docker stack directly on the first vault container that technically owns all the data then I renamed it. Giving hardware transcoding to an unprivileged LXC container is a fairly easy thing to do.
I personally didn’t run into any issues myself except for when the Plex container was going to write data when using the DVR feature.
