If you're only using your computer for octoprint and it's a pi, you should probably just install octopI on the thing as its os. I run octoprint on a couple orange pi zero's, so I run it in docker. It also lets you easily use the computer for multiple things, and you can easily move your services from server to server with docker. Basically, unless you have a single use computer or something that makes docker rather difficult to use, docker is the way to go for hosting most things these days.
