I’m currently using Handbrake on a windows 11 installation of a desktop computer. I am planning on turning this desktop computer into a NAS and media server to replace my current raspberry pi 4 system. Handbrake works great on this computer, but I was wondering how I could use Handbrake on this system after I convert it into a media server.
Given that I wouldn’t normally have a GUI to work with for Ubuntu Server, would it make more sense to install Handbrake in a ProxMox VE container, or should I use the docker version of Handbrake? Would there be a performance impact if I were to use the docker container?
The docker container has a web UI, while if I were to use ProxMox, I could have a full fledged OS to work with.
I was going to suggest there should be a way to run handbrake locally while pointing its under-the-hood functions to handbrake-cli (also, yes, there’s handbrake-cli) hosted on your server, but I found this instead:

In case your Lenny client concatenates the dot to the link like mine: https://medium.com/@joshuaavalon/encode-video-with-handbrake-on-server-17b6127f6ac7
