Security of Ubuntu Server with Work Data and Jellyfin/*Arr/Torrent Dockers (lemmy.world)

Hi everyone.

Glad to post on Lemmy for the first time.

I have an ubuntu that runs a whole jellyfin/arr/torrent docker stack and used to use it as my main work and backup server.

I decided it would be best practice to host my work data on a separate machine in case anything would ever go south virus wise.

I only download and host movies, shows and music there and its all being played through the jellyfin docker.

Am I being overly cautious? Can I even get a virus like that? Has that ever happened?

Or should I continue to separate work and entertainment?

More details on my setup: i3 12100 NVMe 500 GB hosting OS and docker files (including jellyfin cache for snappy access) 5x4TB HDD mergerfs and snapraid

Ubuntu 22 LTS Tailscale Mullvad

Have you considered replacing the OS with proxmox and running everything in virtual machines?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I haven't. I always liked to have the possibility to use GNOME on my machine. That wouldn't work then if I were to have a Ubuntu VM, right?

And do you know if I would I get quicksync access to the i3 for transcoding ?

Thanks

Proxmox has a virtual monitor in its web interface, so you can access the desktop of a virtual machine that way. It's a little clunky but works ok for quick configuration. Alternately you could remote desktop into the virtual machine.

Quicksync is a little more tricky. GPU pass through is a pain, and I'm not sure off the top of my head about that. You can Google "proxmox quicksync passthrough" and see if any solutions will work for you. There's a chance that all you would need to do is set the processor type correctly in the virtual machine settings, but I'm not sure.

As the other reply mentioned, you can use the webui for a quick GUI in a pinch, and as for QSV, I've had more luck passing through GPUs to LXC containers, as that's what I'm doing for my Jellyfin setup with an Intel GPU in Proxmox. Link below can hopefully get you started
