Yes, I could do this with a stand alone linux install, but ain't no one got time for that.

It HAS to be faster to deploy Linux than unRAID. I mean, it literally seems like an impossible thing to say. And Docket is this...
dnf install docker
That's all that there is. Docker is super fast and easy to install.
Yeah, that's just docker installed. You then need to create the container with the solution in it that you want to use, and this would be far more time consuming that just a single command. In unRAID I locate the pre-built docker container with the app in it that I want to use and click install. 30 seconds later it is installed and ready to go.

Yeah, unRAID isn't doing anything special to help you out with that. That's just how docker works. docker run onlyoffice/documentserver is all it takes from a command line even.

This is all part of why I dislike unRAID. Not only do they offer literally nothing that I can tell of value, but they act like a bunch of normal features are special. They pretend that they are doing something special with KVM and Docker and RAID 4 - all things that you already have in equal or superior form, for free, with an enterprise Linux distro. Install Fedora for free, and you have a simpler, safer, more powerful alternative to unRAID that is only upsides, I think. More power, less effort, less cost, easier to support, easier to get support.
