I'd personally rather run UniFi & Home Assistant under Docker to reduce the number of VM's I need to harden and maintain updates for. You would need a full fledged VM for PFsense or OPNsense though due to the custom BSD kernel. Home Assistant can also run under Docker. Combine Docker with Watchtower to keep the container updated, and I never have to touch it other than logging in to update firmware. Especially when i've had issues with it, they've been far easier to deal with than a bare metal Linux. Having run UniFi controllers under Windows, Linux and Docker I have to say my favorite is either Windows or Docker. UniFi controller doesnt need to run 24/7 unless you want the stats or are using a captive portal, it only need to be running for configuration changes.īut if you're going to be doing a server for other functions you may as well move it there. ![]() One day when time permits I want to redo mine with either Proxmox or Esxi I watched a few videos and seen people use vmware for vm's of Pfsense and Freenas (I think that's what it was) and they had no issues. I was originally planning on something similar with mine. I understand this may be asking a lot from this single device made to be a Windows IoT or Linux Thin Client and will eventually be moving things off, but I hope that this can be a good learning experience for me. Is any of this feasible? If so, where should I start to best use the system resources available? UnRaid? Docker? Ideally, I'd like to have it as both a replacement for the shitty router from my ISP, the HyperV home asssistant machine I'm running on my desktop, as well as running Unifi Controller Software. ![]() I plan on upgrading it to 32GB of DDR3 1600 RAM immediately, and maybe an expensive multigig network card (with offloading support) eventually. I'll be getting an HP T620 Plus with an 4 Port PCIe Network Card.
