Home Server. Worth containerising?

[himaro]

I've got a HP Prolight microserver Gen7.
It's had a rather long history of OS's installed on it. Win Server 2008 R2, ESXI (hosting Win server 2008 R2 & Centos), Proxmox (ubuntu containers & fullfat OS).
I've recently had my main LVM corrupt, taking with it my CCTV software and network storage (thankfully I have that backed up on my PC HDD still)

Anyway, baring in mind this is a relatively low spec server ( AMD Turion II Processor Model Neo N54L + 8GB of RAM), I'm thinking of just having Ubuntu installed on there. However I'm still wondering if containerising would be smarter.
It has to run a few jobs you see

• Shinobi CCTV (Maybe zoneminder, but leaning towards Shinobi)
• Network Storage (Media and File)
• Plex
• NodeJS
• Possibly Jenkins

Would it be smarter to have separation using containers or do you think it's over-complicating it and just jam it all on the main server.
I know Shinobi has to be on the main server at the moment as they don't really support LXC\LXD containers (though they do support docker)

And, is it worth using LVM's ? I'm not 100% sure which of the four HDD's might be on its way out, but something is.

EDIT: tbh is it worth just having something like FREENAS on there? Does Freenas have CCTV Software?

Despite my work using docker to power a bunch of their tools, I actually have never used it before. I've got experience in using older versions of OpenVZ and LXC. Suppose it will be a decent learning exercise seeing as docker is kind of the more used system

I've just had another LVM corrupt... Non of the HDD's are returning errors when run through SeaTools.

No I haven't, truth be told.
It's 8Gb of ECC memory so I'd like to think it's pretty stable. It's worth checking anyway though...
