  • I’ve ran multiple containers on a Pi 3 before “upgrading” to a Pi 4. Yes not even a Pi 5. Sure it’s not rapid and drags it’s heels at times but for the most part it’s great for hosting stuff for my household.

    Home assistant, Plex, Syncthing, Wireguard, Ad Guard, nginx, nginx proxy manager, duckdns, mongodb and unifi network appliance. I was also running Jellyfin along side Plex but it keeps causing the Pi to lock up.




  • I’ve ran Plex and other apps directly on Raspberry Pi’s for years but started playing with docker. I really prefer it and always try to go for docker images over regular app installs. When it came to upgrading my stuff from Pi3 to a Pi4, because I put all my docker stuff on an external drive I could just mount that drive on the new Pi and then run my docker-compose file to get everything up and running again. Containers are awesome!

    I’m confident with Linux but by no means an expert. So if I can get it working then anyone else can. My advice though is to avoid using Portainer to create your containers. It may look easier cause it has a GUI but do ker-compose is not hard. Having that one file for all your apps makes life nice and easy
