+
+## Preparation
+
+### Setup data locations
+
+We'll need a directories to bind-mount into our container for Plex to store its library, so create /var/data/plex:
+
+```bash
+mkdir /var/data/plex
+```
+
+### Prepare environment
+
+Create plex.env, and populate with the following variables. Set PUID and GUID to the UID and GID of the user who owns your media files, on the local filesystem
+
+```yaml
+EDGE=1
+VERSION=latest
+PUID=42
+PGID=42
+```
+
+### Setup Docker Swarm
+
+Create a docker swarm config file in docker-compose syntax (v3), something like this:
+

+
+```yaml
+version: "3.0"
+
+services:
+  plex:
+    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/plex
+    env_file: plex.env
+    volumes:
+      - /var/data/config/plex:/config
+      - /var/data/media:/media
+    deploy:
+      labels:

+
+## Serving
+
+### Launch Plex stack
+
+Launch the Plex stack by running ```docker stack deploy plex -c <path -to-docker-compose.yml>```
+
+Log into your new instance at https://**YOUR-FQDN** (You'll need to setup a plex.tv login for remote access / discovery to work from certain clients)
+
+[^1]: Plex uses port 32400 for remote access, using your plex.tv user/password to authenticate you. The inclusion of the traefik proxy in this recipe is simply to allow you to use the web client (as opposed to a client app) by connecting directly to your instance, as opposed to browsing your media via <https://plex.tv/web>
