“The other end”? As in my NAS? Because I can’t check that machine due to lack of SSH

Oh sorry, nothing network related (as far as my novice ass can tell). I’m talking about my Jellyfin containers. Tons of excuses related to things that haven’t changed

“Speed: 1000Mb/s”. I was under the impression that my HDD (Seagate EXOS) would be roughly double that with some to spare.

Sad to report it is not working. Instead I’m getting a different error every time I try to play media

In a response to just_another_person below, it seems to be a Tailscale hangup

Great answer, thank you. To your point, I tried to disable the Tailscale service on my Ubuntu machine and the consequences were bad enough that I’m going to try to avoid Tailscale as much as possible. In disabling it, it also shut down open-ssh, so I had go to the machine with a keyboard and monitor (gross). Re-ran iperf3…while still a bit lower than I’d expect, I don’t think I have any room to complain here all things considered.

“-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline’” I’m not familiar with ethtool, but I looked up some commands related to ethtool. Unfortunately, everything I tried give me “bad command line argument(s)”

Of course, cat7a just tested all the cables too

Interesting. I’ve been using Tailscale for years, this is the first I’ve heard of it causing LAN networking problems. I thought the purpose of Tailscale was to establish a low maintenance VPN for people who won’t/can’t set up a reverse proxy, especially for beginners like myself. Later today I’ll try to clear it out and report back

Oh yeah, Tailscale. I’ll run iperf without it to compare, but I’ve never had an issue with my tailnet before

still not great. And I think ‘sudo tailscale up --accept-routes’ broke my shit. Now SSH is failing. I’m calling it a night, I’ll report back tomorrow

Know any Linux magic to try out?

192.168.0.4 and 192.168.0.44 for NAS and server, respectively. Currently just an idle Jellyfin container. I’m not sure what bridge networking is without looking it up, so I’m assuming that’s not happening here

Right, but how to solve it?

1. NFS4 at first, I’ve also tried SMB. I don’t care which one I end up with, as long as it works efficiently and consistently
2. A few things, but my memory is blurry. I definitely used the cli in the post, but I started by trying ‘cp’ then ‘rsync’
3. I have to test speeds, but the real issue here is how this performance is impacting my containers’ performance

Yeah, I’m about to start the process of trashing the system and starting anew with Ubuntu Server. Even if I had 24/7 community support, I think I’d still dread dealing with Proxmox. The whole reason I hopped on the Prox train was that videos make it seem like an alternative to deep-diving into cli…but everything I’ve been doing is cli, so screw it

So this looks good then?

Yes, just using the iGPU. Thought about an Nvidia card, but setting it up sounded like torture so just whatever is on the i5-13500 for now

In case you want to keep following, I did make that post in c/jellyfin

So I starting this post with many intertwining issues, but most of them have been resolved thanks to extensive help. At this point, most of my issues are Jellyfin-specific so I made a new post in c/jellyfin. But thank you, I’ll be trying your method if mine continues to fail me

Yeah, it seems like the transplanting of LXCs, VMs, and docker is fairly pain-free…where I really shot myself in the foot is starting on an underpowered NAS and network transfers are clearly not my friend.

I’m not familiar with the backup stuff, but I remember hearing about it being added recently. I’ll look into it, thanks for the recommendation.

You taught me a lot of stuff in just a couple days. The overwhelming/anxious part of dealing with Proxmox for me is still the pass-through of data from outside devices. VMs aren’t bad at all, but everything else seems like a roll of the dice to see if the machine will allow the connection or not
