It might help me decide what to do about my current setup.
The only one I didn't have the capability was the Synology because Synology aren't adding ARM support to their docker version.
So once you have containers already in use adding the DVR just makes sense
Hmmm..., didn't know that. I've never worked with containers before; only VMs at random times via Hyper-V and VMware Player.
I think I'll follow your lead, though, and migrate from Synology as well. The container work you're doing has given me a bit of an idea. Just like VMs, containers are so portable regardless of platform (i.e., Synology DSM, Fedora, Windows, ReadyShare, Debian, etc.). Don't get wrong: Synology hardware is really good for my personal uses. However, there are some times when it can be a bit aggravating.
I'm going to do some sketching and planning on my end. I have a feeling I can use the hardware I already have (minus Synology), but my solution might possibly cause a licensing problem. I think going neutral - VMs, containers, Linux flavors, etc. - will work better for me than I first thought or realized. Thank you for the tips.
