Just pass in the name of a json file as a CLI input (or default the name and act on it if present or use it if indicated [e.g. /U == use json.config]).

I have 4 spinny disks in my NAS. The tile the server is sitting on makes more noise than the drives. I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

I liked having them all in the same file - easier to keep everything in sync. I also had “dependency” links to keep things starting in order.

I really like Mona.

Pre.cise.ly

This is the way.

Real world actual difference? No, not much. The big benefit is in the updating of all the software. I run Plex, sonarr, radarr, jackett, qbittorent, Grafana, Prometheus, blackbox, nginx, and a few other Docker containers on a pretty plain Ubuntu server. One command to update the OS, another to pull new containers, a periodic reboot for the OS changes and Robert is your mother’s brother. Way easier than running all software independently on a VM.

Edit: oh, and suffer some type of catastrophic issue or have a software update go sideways? You are 30 minutes away from just reinstalling the OS, add docker and reapply your docker-compose script.
