We are two friends with basically the same setup:

 

Dedicated server with lxc's this way the torrent client is run in a separate container with vpn but the mediaserver / collectors and nzb downloaders (TLS) are run on a separate container that does not need vpn, a separate lxc for nextcloud and a few others that can be moved to docker.

 

We both have a separate NAS which we connect to with NFS.

 

So I have som concerns and questions I'd like to ask.

 

1. Does docker have automatic updating? (or the contained app, like couch and sickbeard)

2. Is it possible to bind an IP to a docker container with lets say ubuntu, not just a port?

3. Moving the disks from our NAS to unRAID does the parity-drive need to be "the biggest" disk?

4. Does unraid provide access to its shares natively (like mounts or simuler) or do we need to NFS inn from a Docker?

5. What resources is available for docker (transcoding on the fly can be demanding).

6. Is it possible to have a docker use vpn but not the others.

7. Can you expand the raid over time, adding one and one drive?

 

I think thats it for now. Thanks

All of LinuxServer's containers update themselves every Friday.

Yes, with 6.4.  Under 6.3 you need to use the Pipework container to accomplish this.

Always

Yes

By default all resources of the host (memory, cpu)

The binhex containers can all use a VPN while other containers are not forced to.

Never a problem.  Add and increase the storage as you choose.  So long as the parity drive is as large or larger than any data drive, you're good to go.

Well thank you sir. We will give it a go then.
