I agree. Run everything you want and then when you see performance degradation then you’ll know the limits of your hardware based on your workloads.

You already have the NUC so why not push it’s limits? The alternative is to try and guestimate your workload needs and buy matching hardware… which is very difficult.

What about in high temps? I have sensors with CR batteries on exterior doors and they seem to die so damn fast. Compared to sensor batteries not on exterior doors.

Your want your media volume to link to your media folder outside of docker.

Below volume definition line is outside:inside

-v /home/user/media/data:/media

docker run -d
–name my_container
-v my_volume:/path/inside/container
image_name

I name my machines after my cats.

Question about the viewing habits data. Is this only related to the Free Ad Supported Streaming content Plex pushes or are they also tracking viewing habits of users personal libraries?

I like your setup.

My stack is R730s with MD1200 DAS. Using about 380watts.

Is your nas on Ext4?

That’s a power efficient setup, nice!

I think it depends on your scale. If homelab stuff docker is awesome IMO.
