Comment on Best "bang for your buck" NUC/Pi setup for Jellyfin/HomeAssistant/PiHole?
cRazi_man@europe.pub 13 hours agoI’ve heard of Docker Desktop, but sounds like it was not well received.
Don’t know what this means. Docker is universally lived and works perfectly on desktop OSs.
I’m running Debian on my server mini PC. Docker will work on any installation of Windows, Linux, etc and work perfectly well. I played around with it initially by setting up a virtual machine with Debian on my gaming computer and seeing if I could get Docker apps working.
Fast forward to now, and I’m kinda sad that my server is all set up and stable and I have nothing to tinker with.

The Docker Desktop comment was from literally one post stating it was junk vs the standard Docker Engine (GUI vs not), so I thought it was deeper than that. The only thing keeping me away from Docker now though is the inability to use deeper customization on HA. A comment above noted HACS can’t be used in the Docker container, which I use currently to control my Govee lighting.
Aww tho, having nothing to tinker with does fill the soul with sadness. As a fellow tinkerer I feel this, however I just fill my time then with extensive modding of games, or y’know, actually playing them :P

I don’t know much about Home Assistant, but you could keep that separate on an R.Pi of its own. Or install it as a native app on Debian if you use a desktop OS on your server.
Tinkering is fun. Home server is one of the few projects that have gone through to full completion. Silksong will take up my time for now till I find a new project. Might just make a new macropad for work.
