I have a QNAP NAS but after much gnashing of teeth I have pretty much abandoned all the low quality apps, both official and non-official, in favour of Docker. The NAS is now just a box of storage and a host for docker containers. There will always be caveats but Docker allows me to become host agnostic; in theory, if the QNAP dies, so long as I have a backup of my media and the single docker-compose.yml file that describes the setup of all my containers, I could resurrect the whole thing on a Synology, FreeNAS, or dusty old pc/server in minutes.
As for putting LMS on the Pi. I'd rather not do that because of losing the ability to power the pi off and on safely without shutting down. I want the feel of an appliance not a computer. And also, if I can get it working, this will be my reference build for adding clients throughout the house. This really is my last ditch attempt at creating a workable system for putting music and radio all through the house without buying into Google/Apple/Sonos/Amazon. So far, each solution I've tried has been a bit clunky, unreliable and overtly DIY - maybe that'll be the final lesson: a Raspberry Pi will always be a tinkerer's plaything. Which is fine, I'm a tinkerer myself but lucky enough to do it for a living, when I get home I want to be able to sit back and press play. But for now I'm still hopeful this will be it. Just a bit more tinkering tonight... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mistakenot...'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70887 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113217 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
