# Plex in Docker
|
|
|
|
{% include 'try-in-elfhosted.md' %}
|
|
|
|
[Plex](https://www.plex.tv/) is a client-server media player system and software suite comprising two main components (a media server and client applications)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## {{ page.meta.recipe }} Requirements
|
|
|
|
--8<-- "recipe-standard-ingredients.md"
|
|
|
|
## 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 {{ page.meta.recipe }} 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### {{ page.meta.recipe }} Docker Swarm config
|
|
|
|
Create a docker swarm config file in docker-compose syntax (v3), something like the example below:
|
|
|
|
--8<-- "premix-cta.md"
|
|
|
|
```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
|

|

|

## 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>
|
|
[^2]: Got an NVIDIA GPU? See [this blog post](https://www.funkypenguin.co.nz/note/gpu-transcoding-with-emby-plex-using-docker-nvidia/) re how to use your GPU to transcode your media!
