I think it would be fantastic if Plex offered an official supported Kubernetes helm chart which would allow the easy and flexible installation of plex on a Kubernetes cluster. Also, it would be great if Plex supported an external database like Postgres, would deploying and keeping consistent state a lot easier!
While this isn’t a general mainstream request, docker in itself isn’t a great solution for running workloads reliably and thus needs to have an orchestrator to ensure everything runs (and scales) as it needs. Would be great to point Plex at an NFS server for data and config (maybe could be added inside the application itself), some local scratch storage for transcoding and voila something which could run in the cloud and on advanced home networks. With a few machines which could help with transcoding/serving content, it would be a lot easier to properly scale.
I know that there is the following plex chart which could serve as a starting point: https://github.com/munnerz/kube-plex It gets the job done, but it would be great to get something streamlined and officially supported.
Keep up the awesome work! Thanks!
