🚀 Accessing LXC Media from a Jellyfin VM (No Data Copy)

This guide shows how to make a Jellyfin VM access media stored in an LXC container — without copying your files — by reusing the existing disk and exposing it via VirtioFS.

🎯 Why Move Jellyfin from LXC to VM?

Originally, Jellyfin was running in an LXC container. The move to a VM was mainly to take advantage of PCIe passthrough so a GPU can be used for hardware transcoding in a more straightforward way.
