Hi everyone, I’m planning to experiment with my first home server (jellyfin,nextcloud,bitwarden etc) running on a “old” Thinkcentre i5-7th. I’m thinking using proxmox in order to experiment with different configuration and I was wondering if it’s possible to have a single container/vr (with Libreelec) output HDMI to my TV, and keep other VM’s headless and controlled from another PC when needed.

Are there some particular setting or nwebie suggestion that could help me achieve that? Also, do you think proxmox is a good choice, or it’s better stick to a single debian/ubuntu server OS?

    Last time I had a vm with physical output was years ago, and it was an involved process. The thing you are looking for is PCI pass-through. Unless you are thinking closer to just running something like virtual box full screen?

    Did you need your server to have hdmi output instead of running a normal jellyfin client? Would you consider a desktop os running server containers in docker or podman?
