Been working into docker. Running nginx proxy manager, paperless-ngx, WireGuard, adguard, bitwarden, Jellyfin, and a couple others right now. Some run in a container on the NAS, a couple on a pi, and the rest on the server. Much more to learn…

I need to be better about my docker deployment. Services running on 3 devices. Some docker, some docker-compose, and some were setup in portainer. It’s a bit of a mess tbh. Portainer agent sounds promising. I’ll check it out. Thanks!

As I said, I’m kind of a mess. I added containers while adding devices so segregating wasn’t necessarily my intention. That said, I will most likely keep DNS and DHCP on a single dedicated device. That, for some reason, makes sense to me. The rest I may move together except for the vpn services. I will run the 2 on different devices in case one service gets blocked by the external network I’m trying to connect from. I already ran into this once where WireGuard got blocked but OpenVPN did not.

I do have cubecoders amp running as well. And, I agree, setup was easy and I have a bungee cord server running on there now. I don’t mind paying a reasonable one time price for well supported software. The only reason I am also trying pterodactyl is the integration with databases directly in the panel. I wanted to try a few addons for the Minecraft server and they require regis and sql. Still working on getting it all setup but I also read that database support is in the pipeline for Amp so I’m looking forward to that.

I was going to ask the same thing. I have had a Synology NAS running for the last 9 years without a hitch. Their apps are decent and DSM is solid. I was going to suggest a new synology for someone with less experience and less desire to tinker. Gets OP off of potential constant tech support.
