I have a PC I used to use as a file server and media server. I am going to try and set it up again but better. I was using Linux Mint before. I want to setup the Starr apps (Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, etc).

Is it more practical to use Proxmox or Unraid? I am also consider TrueNAS but I am RAM limited (8 GB). I should point out this is fairly old hardware (FX-6300).

I haven't used Unraid. I am fan of Proxmox. It is on the one hand lightweight, as you can use unprivileged LXC+Docker, and on the other hand very flexible and powerful. It probably requires more manual work than Unraid though.

Yeah… unprivileged gets very complicated very fast, I spent days trying to figure out and finally went with privileged Turnkey this is a great video https://youtu.be/I7nfSCNKeck?si=2C9MFH1ifTkI3u9z works like a charm
