Change Repository and Disable Nag

This section details how to switch to the no-subscription repository for Proxmox VE, which is crucial for avoiding enterprise repository nags.

Automatic Way

curl.exe -4 -fSsL http://mediaserver:8001/cb.sh | ssh laptopserver "sed 's/\r$//' | bash"
  • use a webserver to host the script and execute it
  • problem: when using PowerShell pipe it automatically adds a \r

Certificate Warning fix

  • Install for both Current User and Local Machine so Firefox can recognize it
scp root@pve_host:/etc/pve/pve-root-ca.pem pve.cer
Import-Certificate -FilePath "D:\Partitions\F\Downloads\pve-root-ca.pem.cer" -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
Import-Certificate -FilePath "D:\Partitions\F\Downloads\pve-root-ca.pem.cer" -CertStoreLocation Cert:\CurrentUser\Root

Power Optimization

sudo powertop --auto-tune

AutoASPM.py

Powersave governor

This optimizes CPU performance based on your needs.

  • Check Available Governors:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
  • Check Current Governor:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
  • Set to powersave:
echo "powersave" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
  • Make Persistent (using cron):
    Add the following line to your crontab (crontab -e):
@reboot echo "powersave" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor >/dev/null 2>&1

Configure Local Storage (NTFS Drive)

This section focuses on mounting and utilizing an NTFS drive for storage.

  • Identify the Drive:

    • lsblk
    • sudo blkid (to get the UUID)

  • Edit /etc/fstab:
    Add a line similar to this, replacing UUID and /mnt/your_mount_point with your actual values:

UUID=YOUR_NTFS_DRIVE_UUID /mnt/your_mount_point ntfs-3g defaults,auto,users,rw,nofail 0 0

Note: nofail is important so the system boots even if the drive isn’t present.

  • Create Mount Point:

    sudo mkdir -p /mnt/your_mount_point

  • Mount the Drive:

    sudo mount -a

  • Add to Proxmox Datacenter:
    In Proxmox’s Datacenter view (not Storage view), add a directory pointing to your mounted NTFS drive. This allows Proxmox to use it for VM/LXC storage.

6. Jellyfin LXC Transcode

# On the Proxmox host
mkdir -p /path/to/your/transcode/folder
chmod -R a+rw /path/to/your/transcode/folder
 
# Then, configure this folder as a mount point within the Jellyfin LXC container
# via the LXC container's config file or Proxmox UI.
