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.

… or handbrake-cli
I wouldn’t wish using ffmeg on my worst enemy. The cli requires a sophisticated understanding of encodings and codecs which makes writing a general “I want to rescale things” script weirdly complicated.
The cli options seem to change as well since I rarely am able to run a ffmpeg line found in the wild with any success. Some systems even ship “avconv” instead which makes this even more exciting.
