Current Optimal Set Up on Synology

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices

If you want to run his config, that’s fine but be advised.

  1. It’s completely independent of the native packages

  2. None of your existing metadata will be used. He puts everything in his own place. You’ll start out with a brand new server

  3. There will be no hardware transcoding (not configured in that definition)

What he’s created is a generic plex container with none of the benefits.

You’d be better off running the official Plex Docker container.

I have configurations, with hardware transcoding, which fully overlay both DSM 6 and DSM 7
