Running Plex in docker
(lemmy.ca)
I currently use an Ubuntu distro (Mint) with Plex installed serving media to my local network. I installed docker last night so I can test out some photo hosting services.
Is there a benefit to running Plex through docker vs the traditional method?
Yep, everything that's attached to plex I backup (excluding media, that's done elsewhere). There are tens of thousands of tiny files which is why it takes so long, I do recommend taring it first. The archive must support symlinks which is why I chose tar.
