Hi
I currently have a dilemma that hopefully you might be able to help me decide.
I've been using LibreElec for almost a year, and I love this linux flavour for my media center.
To enhance my media center experience, I also install couple of docker containers, such as:
- sabnzbd
- sonarr
- plex server
The dilemma that I have is, I want to make this to be my central data storage for my files (including backup to cloud, such as backblaze / crashplan / google photos, etc) too; I know that some might say, just build another server/NAS; but I'd like to cut down the electricity usage and use only a single server box.
If I want to do this (make it as a central data storage), I need to spend extra time to find out the perfect docker container (or build one from scratch) that will fit the purpose; for instance: here
Furthermore, with LibreElec, is it secure enough to save private files? consider there are some limitations (from memory, the ssh password is defaulted to libreelec, although I managed to use public/private key right now, so it's no longer an issue)
If I go with Ubuntu, I might lose the flexibility of just 'login' to kodi when I boot up the machine, which is one of the great feature I use for non-techie member of family (although I believe ubuntu can be configured that way...but still it requires some config again)
What do you guys think?
