Are you using QEMU by itself from your docker containers?

Hrm. Maybe the third party script wasn't updated or something. Also possible, the reason why Jellyfin didn't have their /own/ script to do this hadn't actually been done (because they knew it would be troublesome).

Did you end up going through the Archlinux install process via the wiki? Or did you use the 'archinstall' script? Just wondering, as I've always done it the old school way, until I setup the VM with Hyprland (I used 'archinstall'), and was quite pleased and impressed with the result.

Only for it to come back in through the windows! Although this time of year you might be keeping the windows closed more often. ;)
