Question: do you guys use docker on your raspberry? For what kind of things?

Last weekend I bought an external hard drive and so I'm looking into installing/configuring a number of things (raspberry pi 3b): samba, deluge, couchpotato, plex, ... It looks like there's a docker container for all of these things, does it make sense to always use these? Or are there some overhead costs (or other drawbacks) I should be aware of?

Thanks for the feedback! I've been taking care to specifically look for arm or rpi- containers on the web, there seem to be plenty. So far I haven't had to make an image myself, but I'm assuming it can't be much more difficult than trying to install everything on the raspberry pi itself.

Regarding transcoding not being possible: does this mean that in order to stream a video on the hd disk to a chromecast I won't be able to use the raspberry pi itself?

I don't understand the benefit of using kubernetes (besides learning something useful) when using just one pi. Isn't it just more overhead?

The ability to use helm charts, especially nested helmb charts, is really nice. It's basically a package manager for containers

helm install postgres

Or whatever. Also it's interface will scale, if you ever need it to

Otherwise yeah you can just use docker compose, which is about all anyone ever really needs on a single node cluster

Gotcha! I'm very new to this docker/kubernetes thing so I was wondering if I was missing something.
