Moving old version server from Linux to newer version on Linux/docker

Is there possibility of success for me to move an older version of Plex Server, 1.14.0.5470, from its Linux installation to the newest Plex Server version running under the Docker linuxserver/plex image on a different Linux host?

This sounds like a pretty straightforward move based on what I read at: https://support.plex.tv/articles/201370363-move-an-install-to-another-system/

It appears like this would be pretty much just like a Linux-to-Linux move, with a bit of Docker configuration also required (which I know how to do). Would the server jump from 1.14 to whatever the newest version is (1.19.something?) be an issue?

The paths to my media and the Plex storage will be changing, but that should be easily resolvable inside Plex itself, or in the docker-compose.yml file where I configure what host OS path is mounted where inside the container. At least I think it should be easily resolvable.

Thanks in advance for any tips, warnings, gotchas, etc.

From what you’ve written, I think you’ve got it well in hand.
It’s a straight forward move from the /var/lib/plexmediaserver/..... structure to /config

You will start up with the newest image (same as the public version).
