Overview

MOOD-MNKY (formerly PRO-MNKY) is a cluster node that hosts the target media stack (ARR + Jellyfin + qBittorrent). Transcoding can use Intel Arc A750 and/or UHD 770 (iGPU) depending on LXC device passthrough and stack configuration—verify live /dev/dri bindings after changes.

Motherboard and PCIe layout (ASUS PRIME Z790M-PLUS)

ItemDetail
Primary PCIePCIe 5.0 ×16 from CPU — Intel Arc A750 (dGPU)
Second long slotPCIe 4.0 ×16 physical, ×4 electrical from chipset — empty; best datacenter ROI is usually a 10GbE (or 25GbE) NIC aligned with switch/NAS, or an ×4 NVMe carrier if local fast disk is the bottleneck—not a second GPU
Small slotsPCIe 4.0 ×1 (one usable per DMI; second may be unavailable/disabled on board)
M.2Three NVMe sockets populated (CPU-linked + chipset); SATA also present
Hardware highlights observed on the host:
  • CPU: Intel Core i9-13900KS (Raptor Lake)
  • dGPU: Intel Arc A750 on CPU PEG port
  • iGPU: Intel UHD 770 — device nodes typically under /dev/dri/ (indices vary by boot order vs dGPU)
  • Networking: dual Realtek RTL8125 2.5GbE plus Intel 1GbE (PCH)
  • Storage: three Samsung 980 PRO–class NVMe + SATA SSD (exact pool layout: confirm with zpool / Proxmox storage on-node)
  • Host memory: ~125 GiB

Role

  • Target compute + GPU node for the MOOD MNKY media stack.
  • Runs LXC 120 (mnky-media-stack) which provides:
    • Jellyfin media playback and hardware transcoding
    • qBittorrent download ingestion
    • Prowlarr + Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr orchestration
    • Jellyseerr requests/discovery
  • Storage access: TrueNAS shared media NFS dataset (mounted into the LXC as /mnt/media)
See: `Media Stack (ARR + Jellyfin + qBittorrent).

Next steps

If you change MOOD-MNKY’s hardware (CPU, GPU passthrough, NICs, or pools), re-capture the node profile by updating these facts and re-verifying:
  1. The GPU/iGPU devices visible to the media LXC (e.g. /dev/dri/card*, renderD*)
  2. TrueNAS NFS media mounts
  3. The media-stack LXC’s Docker/Compose health
  4. If you add a card in the chipset ×4 slot: IOMMU groups, thermals, and power limit for that slot (see ASUS manual)
