I'm thinking about getting started using Docker and an older Raspberry Pi. I'm already hosting a grafana service on it, so It can't be fully dedicated to ha. So curious what everyone is using.

In Docker on a Synology DS1522+, works well. I used to use the Synology HA app, but it was always some versions behind, and I was pleasantly surprised that backup and restore was easy to move it to Docker. I'd say that if you change your mind about how you host it in future that it will be fairly easy to change.
