Precisely. I have a Pi I use for several functions, which are loosely related or completely unrelated to one another. Using Docker isn't necessarily better for LMS specifically (although it does make rebuilding even just an LMS server simple when the need arises), but it is -very -much better for the server because containerised applications make experimentation, rebuilding, portability etc. so much easier. If your need is just for LMS or LMS / PCP you should make a decision about whether running inside Docker is worthwhile for you. I would say that the problems it adds are not really complexity-related. Docker is pretty straightforward and generally speaking, starting a preconfigured container is usually easier than installing functions on a normal OS base (PCP is certainly simple to use, though). The problems I've had are related to sharing networking, particularly mDNS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BobSammers's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66026 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111828 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
