Hey OP, limewire lives on in Soulseek

I've dabbled with slsk.

Is there any option to run it in docker on something like a NAS?

How safe is it compared to limewire? Like how do they ensure everything is what they say it is and not something malicious is misleading?

Soulseek itself is FOSS, it's fine. If you're worried about the other person's downloads, just practice safety. It doesn't hide extensions, so no worries about elmos-got-a-gun-weird-al.mp3.exe making your system run cryptominers.

No it's p2p foss

If you scan your downloads it should be fine
