Diskless Desktop off Ceph RBD root

History/Background

This is the result of a project to PXE-boot a diskless desktop backed by a Ceph cluster. Initially, the plan was to use CephFS for both / (root) and /boot, with /boot accessible by the PXE server to be able to streamline updates to the initrd and kernel from the OS. While /boot is still on CephFS, / was moved to an RBD image, using namespaces for permissions.

Not covered

• Setting up Ceph (CephFS, RBD, permissions/auth, etc), outside of where it directly interacts

Create a Render LXC in Proxmox

Instructions to setup a dedicated rendering LXC for Jellyfin. Useful for running Jellyfin in a VM and without passing through the whole iGPU, instead passing off to LXCs, allowing using more than one Proxmox host in the cluster for rendering.
