My biggest annoyance is that they don't provide users a first-party way to run their own containers from a source Dockerfile. As a maintainer of an open source project, this is incredibly annoying because our plugin system is build/compile-time, and many users need to use certain plugins.

They also flip the order of Docker port mappings, where `-v "8080:80"` would become "80 <- 8080" or w/e in their UI. And a bunch of other idiosyncrasies with configuring containers.

And yeah, as others have said, "dockers" terminology hurts me deeply.

The port mapping flip in the UI is seriously baffling. Not even that it happened but that it continues to be case.

I feel that overall my unraid experience has been good and they certainly make the implementation of some basic services and plug-ins really easy. However I do find myself looking at more fully manual, open-source “home server” solutions and wonder if it would be worth a switch …
