Re: [slim] NAS + Squeezebox + Plex
Plex and LMS run on pretty much everything, so it comes down to how much time you have to build. I run a QNAP for plex and LMS with 90TB of stuff. The QLMS package runs 8.3 fine. You suggest you want off-site listening - whatever your NAS, do not expose ports to web, or you will one day find it all encrypted - use a private VPN for remote access. Sorry if thats obvious but a lot get caught out by leaving UPNP active.

Re: [slim] NAS + Squeezebox + Plex
Can someone suggest a build including OS or something pre-built that would literally serve my 3 purposes: NAS + Squeezebox server + Plex server. My personal opinion: assuming you don't have Pis sitting around idle, I'd go with a relatively beefy NAS which can run Docker. The latter allows you to run many services in a matter which (currently) is well supported by many projects. If you go with a relatively mainstream product like QNAP or Synology chances are you already have support for Plex apps built-in. Otherwise you run it in Docker. When I bought my NAS Docker was still a bit suspicious to me. It took me a while to understand it. But right now I'm running five to six containers continuously. And I like the simplicity with which I can test-run an application in a container and easily throw everything away if I'm not happy with it. Just my 2c. (but I still run LMS on a Pi, as it's easier in _my_ case to run off of git directly, and to deal with patches applied manually etc.) ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] NAS + Squeezebox + Plex
For many years I have had my music files on a 4 disk QNAP 419P NAS but I stopped running LMS on it some time ago as it's an Arm processor and only has 512mb RAM. It couldn't cope with lots of transcoding and the last Qnap approved version of LMS was 7.7.6. It is however great at doing its principal job which is file sharing. So I now have the QNAP which holds all the files and two separate production machines - one for LMS and one for Plex - that connect over NFS to the NAS. I have rebuilt the LMS machine a number of times but by always using the same mount point strategy I have always made existing playlists work. I also have numerous "dev" devices, Pi's etc which also connect to the NAS via NFS when required and a second offsite QNAP which syncs files on an overnight basis. There is a Pi based LMS at the same site with an NFS mount to the QNAP so when I visit I can play everything that I have in my main (home) office. I have considered Dockers but rejected the idea on the basis that it meant unnecessary expense on a new more powerful NAS when the one I have does what I ask it to.

Re: [slim] NAS + Squeezebox + Plex
I personally run Unraid it can run both LMS and Plex as dockers the main reason I like it is that you can use any combination of discs (a true NAS requires them all to be the same size) additionally the way it stores the files they are not striped across multiple disks, therefore when accessing a file on one disk you don't have the entire array spinning. Its much more power efficient that way PiCorePlayer 8.2 on Allo Digi One Signature (Lounge) PiCorePlayer 8.2 with Hifiberry Digi+ Material running on PI for control (Office) PiCorePlayer 8.2 with pi official touchscreen and Hifiberry DAC+(Kitchen) Radio (Bedroom) PiCorePlayer 8.2 with Allo BOSS DAC (Bedroom) PiCorePlayer 8.2 with Hifiberry AMP+.

[slim] NAS + Squeezebox + Plex
There comes a time when everyone needs to buy or build a NAS. If I buy or build one, I would certainly like to have my 14 TB of music installed in it also. What are the considerations for using it as a Squeezebox server also? I will also use it as a Plex server for videos and movies and offsite music listening. Naturally this would require a bit more "oomph." Can someone suggest a build including OS or something pre-built that would literally serve my 3 purposes: NAS + Squeezebox server + Plex server.
