Proxmox + i3-10105 + jellyfin hardware acceleration

Hello, I've proxmox running on an intel i3-10105. Would love to have
Jellyfin running on it with proper hardware acceleration to handle
large, high quality video files.

I have never messed with this stuff before and it's very foreign to
me, so I'm quite confused, trying to consolidate the information from
a bunch of similar looking posts and threads from all sorts of
different forums etc. Technically the hardware should be more than
capable enough to do it, but I'm not quite sure how to get it working.

Do I go VM or LXC? Do I do iGPU passthrough or something else? How do
I configure that stuff? I'm at a loss here. Please help.

I would go LXC. No point in the VM overhead.

You need to make sure that the LXC can access the /dev/DRI devices
etc.

After that, it's configuring Jelly as usual.

I use an unprivileged LXC, remember to chmod 666 /dev/dri/card0 and
/dev/dri/render128 and I also installed the intel non free driver to
enable hardware tone mapping for when I transcode hdr h265 to sdr h264

Ok I got HWA working I think, but the tonemapping stuff is still
foreign to me, beyond a basic understanding of what it's supposed to
do. Is it as simple as checking the "enable tone mapping" (or maybe
the vpp one?) box in the playback settings, or does it need to be
configured? I did install hte non-free drivers btw.
