I currently have a server running Arch Linux and Jellyfin, one Raspberry Pi 4 running NextCloudPi and one Raspi running Pi-hole. Eventually I want to host all and more services on one maschine.
I thought about using Proxmox and Docker, but I'm not sure what the ideal setup would look like. For now I thought I use Proxmox and a simple Debian VM which I run Docker on and running Portainer, Pi-hole, Nextcloud, a reverse proxy and Jellyfin as Docker containers?
Is that a smart setup? It gives me the ease of using Docker and a easy way of creating backups of single applications or the whole VM, leaving me with the possibility to add container or VMs for various other services, for testing etc. Or should I just use LXC for said applications?
Any guidance would be appreciated!

EDIT: In case my comment was overlooked. Thanks for all your comments, I'll see how I implement things when I get the time to reinstall my server.

I'd recommend against Jellyfin in a VM if you need hardware transcoding, although YMMV GPU wise.

I don't think it's unreasonable to run your docker containers on your Proxmox host or you can use LXC, since neither of these need to deal with GPU passthrough. Yeah, you'll lose the full VM backup stuff with docker but containers are easy to backup if you configure them properly.
