Begin with listing what exactly you’re trying to run. I am running this myself, on hardware that’s worse than yours. You have to make choices more carefully

While not untrue, it’s not entirely accurate. My entire arr stack runs on a 3b+ with just a gig of ram, with some still left over. It all depends on what, and how you run it

Same here. Got a Namecheap domain, that I’ve eventually migrated to a Cloudflare nameserver. Updates are ran by ddclient on the server itself

ArchlinuxARM, however it does not matter, given that everything I actually run, runs within Docker

Post your launch command, or compose file

I’m running this on a Pi 3b+, however the performance leaves more to be desired, when using Jellyfin. With Plex, this is not an issue at all. Smooth sailing, assuming you’ll not be watching bluray rips of gigantic file size

I could close my eyes to all of those, but the issue that pisses me off the most is that often enough Portainer just forgets which stacks it has ownership over, forcing you to delete the whole stack, dig up the old compose from its files, and create it again

There aren’t really any reasons to avoid it. There are certainly reasons to choose an alternative product, namely the complete unavailability of 4B and 5 boards. My biggest issue so far is that the alternatives offer features that I don’t want, or have a price that’s way too high for a SBC

This has worked great for me

It doesn’t matter what your host os is, if you’re using docker. Choose whichever one you like more

All my music rips go into the Lidarr indexer, and it handles the rest. Playback handled by Plex

I tried it very briefly, when it still brand new, because the regular client didn’t support replaygain. Found the UI/UX quite complicated, because of the super minified controls. Has anything changed in terms of that?

My entire media library is sitting on a NAS, fed to me through a Plex instance in docker. Works great

Namecheap has been good to me for a decade now, and I don’t really have complaints at all

I have a Syncthing container copying my entire DCIM folder on the phone. It’s jank, but it works fast, and I have copies of stuff on my other devices by extension

At least from my experience, with a proper blacklist it shuts down a ton more stuff. Not just pure ads, but a ton of tracking and websites/apps phoning home too. You can configure it to be as strict or lenient as you’d like, basically. For me it’s nice, because I can just apply it to the entire network, and I don’t have to worry about trying to explain how this works to my family
