Not docker, but managed in a virtualbox environment.

I tried docker (and vagrant) but struggled with passthrough of USB & Serial ports (for zigbee & whatnot)

Running natively was a no-no, as it would not have been supported with Supervisor, and led to all sorts of dependency clashes.

I use systemd to manage the vbox (basic stuff - start / stop / status), but otherwise all the config for the environment (NAT / port forwarding) is done in the VM software.

I've always found docker to be a bit opaque when it comes to that sort of thing.

Other than that, I've never had any unexpected downtime in a few months now, and as the image is a supported image, updates are painless.

cf. running on a Pi, which can get in the sea.

I tried it very briefly but couldn't get my usb zigbee stick to work so gave up after about 10 minutes but I've never really got on with Docker whenever I've attempted to use it and I've never really bothered to try and learn it.

I just run it on a pi which has been perfectly stable for the past few years.

wondering if anyone here is running it in a docker container and can speak to how it handles itself?

I'm not running it in a docker container because IIRC that places some fairly major limitations on it (but don't ask me what they were now).

This has also been a very good experience for me, super stable and no issues. But I'm using a Pi 4 8Gb in a proper case with cooling (Argon ONE M.2), an SSD and a good PSU (Anker thing).
