For many years I have had my music files on a 4 disk QNAP 419P NAS but I stopped running LMS on it some time ago as it's an Arm processor and only has 512mb RAM. It couldn't cope with lots of transcoding and the last Qnap approved version of LMS was 7.7.6. It is however great at doing its principal job which is file sharing. So I now have the QNAP which holds all the files and two separate production machines - one for LMS and one for Plex - that connect over NFS to the NAS. I have rebuilt the LMS machine a number of times but by always using the same mount point strategy I have always made existing playlists work. I also have numerous "dev" devices, Pi's etc which also connect to the NAS via NFS when required and a second offsite QNAP which syncs files on an overnight basis. There is a Pi based LMS at the same site with an NFS mount to the QNAP so when I visit I can play everything that I have in my main (home) office. I have considered Dockers but rejected the idea on the basis that it meant unnecessary expense on a new more powerful NAS when the one I have does what I ask it to.
