(Distinctly off topic and I apologise...) I was going to do exactly this with a Pi 4 (and did initial testing with that), but then remembered I had an old NUC 2820 machine in a cupboard doing nothing (https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/78953/intel-nuc-kit-dn2820fykh.html)...and I recently went down this path. So recently I decided to get on board the docker train, and I thus now have all of these running in docker: - 1 * Reverse-Proxy/Let's Encrypt SWAG gateway thing - 1 * LMS (have previously run two, and might again, kids vs. adults - rather than trying to use multiple library approaches within LMS...you just switch the player between the available sources and off you go, works well!) - 1 * MariaDB - 1 * MariaDB-backup tool - 1 * OneDrive (this only runs overnight for syncing my music to my work library, as this one -is- a bit of a CPU hog when it does its periodic re-syncs otherwise) - 2 * Headless Kodi instances (allowing for 24/7 library updates without the need to run library scans on client machine -> pointing at two libraries, one for kids and one for adults) - 1 * Beets (for largely automated incoming music processing) - Some youtube-dl and other containers I spin up as-needed ...all running on that puny (Celeron 2830, 8gb ram, some sort of basic 2TB SSD in there) machine...without performance issues. CPU rarely goes over 10% in day to day use. The Pi 4 is now doing duties with PiHole and PiVPN - but it would easily run two LMS instances I'd say. Initial scans might take a while but other than that, the WebUI/Material was very responsive (I have about 1800 albums in all), Spotty worked fine etc. Docker is _great_ for this sort of thing. You have one compose file which very clearly defines all the ports and folders used, so everything is nicely in one place. Then simple commands to upgrade, start and stop the services defined in there. I have another docker-LMS instance on a Kodi (Coreelec, Odroid N2) machine I take when we travel (well, theoretically, travel being a bit constrained of late :( ) And the performance is near native....amazingly so, really. From a practical perspective you just can't tell it's virtualised really. So in summary, I think for multiple libraries the docker approach with separate LMS instances is a great way to go for multiple libraries, if you're on the fence... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bossanova808's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=619 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109624 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
