Emby
Emby (think "M.B." or "Media Browser") is best described as "like Plex but different" 😁 - It's a bit geekier and less polished than Plex, but it allows for more flexibility and customization.
I've started experimenting with Emby as an alternative to Plex, because of the advanced parental controls it offers. Based on my experimentation thus far, I have a "kid-safe" profile which automatically logs in, and only displays kid-safe content, based on ratings.

Preparation
Setup data locations
We'll need a location to store Emby's library data, config files, logs and temporary transcoding space, so create /var/data/emby, and make sure it's owned by the user and group who also own your media data.
mkdir /var/data/emby
Prepare environment
Create emby.env, and populate with PUID/GUID for the user who owns the /var/data/emby directory (above) and your actual media content (in this example, the media content is at /srv/data)
PUID=
GUID=
Setup Docker Swarm
Create a docker swarm config file in docker-compose syntax (v3), something like this:
--8<-- "premix-cta.md"
version: "3.0"
services:
emby:
image: emby/emby-server
env_file: /var/data/config/emby/emby.env
volumes:
- /var/data/emby/emby:/config
- /srv/data/:/data
deploy:
labels:
- traefik.frontend.rule=Host:emby.example.com
- traefik.docker.network=traefik_public
- traefik.port=8096
networks:
- traefik_public
- internal
ports:
- 8096:8096
networks:
traefik_public:
external: true
internal:
driver: overlay
ipam:
config:
- subnet: 172.16.17.0/24
