I use this approach myself but am starting to reconsider.

I have an Asus PN51 (NUC-like) minipc as my server / brains, hosting all my dockers etc. All docker containers and their volumes are locally sorted on the device. I have a networked QNAP NAS for storage for things like Plex / jellyfin.

It’s mostly ok but the NAS is noticeably slower to start up than the NUC, which has caused issues after power loss where Plex thinks all the movies are gone so it empties out the library, then when the NAS comes back up it reindexes and throws off all the dates for everything. It also empties out tags (collections) and things like radarr and sonarr will start fetching things it thinks don’t exist anymore. I’ve stopped those problematic services from starting on boot to hopefully fix those issues. I’ve also added a UPS to avoid minor power outs.

There’s a lemmy community for all the arr apps too if you need help !servarr@sh.itjust.works https://sh.itjust.works/c/servarr

Lato and Paris for me! Looking forward to incarnon’ing my Lato Vandal
