In the Environment tab, I’ve chosen to set TimeZone, Version, PUID and PGID. Step 4 - Specifying additonal environment settings Map the ports as you want, especially if you have other containers running on the same port. Since Plex can also delete and update your media files, I’ve chosen to allow read/writes on the media folders. Now click again the “Add Folder” button and add your media folder. Step 2.1 - Mount Plex configuration folder pathĬlick on “Add Folder” button and select the folder and select the shared folder you have previously created. I have created a shared folder on my Synology and mount that as volume to the container. By doing that makes container upgrades, backups and configuration easier. I always keep configuration outside containers. Step 2 - Volumes Sharing persistent data with Docker containers Give a name to your container and then click “Advanced settings”. In the next steps, you will configure ports, volumes etc. You can check the documentation prior your setup.Ĭonfigure and Create Docker container from image Find the plex image, select it and click Launch.

Navigate to the Package Center and install Docker. Docker support is a separate install on Synology DSM When it comes to Docker, lets say that I like abstracting and Docker makes my life easier when it comes to abstracting at the app layer that packages code and dependencies together and keeps them separete from the operating System. I am also a big fan of Synology mainly because of the simplicity and ease of use.
I find PLex an easy to use and maintain solution for managing and viewing my media files.
