Well, in terms of updating, unless you use another docker container on your NAS to automatically update( like I think 'watchover" - forgive me if that's not correct name, I don't use it myself) then your pCP definitely wins. I do update manually roughly once a month ish.. It's not difficult but not as easy as pCP. 1.Download new lms docker image 2.Stop existing container and edit auto start and ports (if in bridge mode) 3.set up new image to identical config as old one had (that's why you need /config folder pointing to folder on NAS for easy update or backup) If you open 2tabs with dsm /docker container version in each, it takes a minute at most, but yeah it's not automatic. In terms of performance : you need to check yourself. I bet RPi 4 will give you better experience but it may depend on which nas/which services running etc Why LMS on NAS you ask.. Why not. My DS218+ handles it well alongside other services and I just like idea of keeping it all in one place (on device which is on 24/7 anyway) I do have couple RPi 3b /3b+ but one functions as kodi with squeezelite on libreelec and other is spare not currently in use(use to retropie) . I don't really want to buy rPi 4 even if you like said it's rather cheap. Still it's yet another device. I guess it's mostly personal preference. I don't change my phone /laptop a very year or two.. I don't like whole planned obsolescence and I like to get most out of working gear, even if it needs bit of tlc once a while.. Im guessing I'm bit mad / not usual user and most people will prefer to run LMS on separate RPi for ease of use :) Only advantage for yourself would be if you can repurpose your RPi 4.. Do you need media centre? Building a robot perhaps?
