I’ll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It’s not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

    I used to run the applications on bare metal when I ran a Windows server (because that’s all I knew at the time). Eventually graduated to a QNAP NAS, that wasn’t enough, and moved on again to Unraid, where many of these apps are available through templates in their Community Apps section. It really lowers the barrier of entry for using Docker and makes it stupid easy to assign your container an IP address on your host network, so it can be its own “device” on your LAN (which helps for me since I’ve got that all segmented off in its own VLAN).

    It’s not too deep a rabbit hole to jump down, but it’ll take time to get things just right to limit the amount you need to interact with the apps and manually select what you want to grab.

      Yeah im just about there. Eventually i want to build my own nas, but i got a pretty solid synology for cheap and it is good enough for plex and all the docker containers so far.

      you are spot on about lowering the barrier of entry tho. I remember trying to set up programs to auto run on boot on a raspberry pi lol, now all i do is double click an icon and supply my ports. crazy easy
