Setting up plex in a docker container

gistfile1.txt

Goal: Set up Plex for my LAN inside a docker container. I am not using or relying on the plex.tv website at all. This
  is all local to my network. Plex updates happen through the web interface. I'm not sure how I'm going to handle
  the docker image updates yet or if I will even worry about it.


First, set up a ramdisk (type=tmpfs; I used 4GB but smaller is fine probably) to use for transcoding. This allows plex to
  transcode files without reading and writing constantly from your SSD or other disk drive. This lets it do it all in
  memory instead. I mounted this at /mnt/ramdisk and then set it up in my fstab so it persists through reboots.

Second, make sure you have docker installed ya big dummy.

Third, run this command... modify it to your needs:

docker run \
-d \
--name plex \
--network=host \
-p 32400:32400/tcp \
-e TZ="America/Chicago" \
-v /home/phillijw/docker/plex/config:/config \
-v /mnt/ramdisk/docker/plex/transcode:/transcode \
-v /media/phillijw/KingKong/tv:/data/tv \
-v /media/phillijw/KingKong/movies:/data/movies \
--restart always \
