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.

Not really any performance impact from using it in docker.

But you could also use ffmpeg as that's what handbrake uses under the hood IIRC.
