So looking at getting some smart lightbulbs not sure if will be Philips or looking at the new Ikea range etc

I have also been looking at Home-Assistant.io to provide a front end to managed things which runs on a Pi, which i don't have spare at the moment.

I do have a HP desktop with 256gb SSD which I was thinking I could use for docker style stuff but I am not sure what the best route is to go.

I currently have a Microserver running Synology that is acting as my Plex server but can struggle so I thought about off loading the plex server part to the same HP box above and leave the storage task on my microserver.

I have had a look at Docker, but that seems very command line driven, but also looked at Unraid but as would not be using it to store data not sure if that is a bit of a waste?

So any thoughts on the best course of action?

Thanks
 
Personally I'm running Docker (CE) on Ubuntu 16.04 on a HP Microserver. I don't mind the command line so use that a lot but you can also use things like Portainer (which you can install as a docker container itself very easily) or even Cockpit with the appropriate plugin to manage Docker through a web interface.

I don't run my Plex in a Docker container (mine runs as a VM on my VMWare box) but a friend of mine has just migrated his Plex system from running on raw Ubuntu to running in a Docker container and it all went fine once we cleared some permissions issues.

Unraid, I don't know much about but a lot of people on the forum do use it and swear by it and it does appear to make things running in Containers easy if that what you want.
