Server Version#: 1.13.8.5395 (latest docker container as at 31/10/2018)

Using the following docker compose:

version: '2'
services:
  plex:
    container_name: plex
    image: plexinc/pms-docker
    restart: always
    environment:
      - TZ=Pacific/Auckland
      - PLEX_UID=1002
      - PLEX_GID=1002
      - CHANGE_CONFIG_DIR_OWNERSHIP=true
      - PLEX_CLAIM=xxxxxx
    network_mode: host
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
      - /media/plex:/config
      - /media/videos:/data/movies
      - /media/recordedtv:/data/tvshows
      - /media/recordings:/data/recordings
      - /media/pictures:/data/pictures
      - /media/music:/data/music
      - /media/plextranscode:/transcode

You can see I’ve got trancoding to a new folder, this is temp space. But the sync+ folder is a real problem. How can that move from /media/plex/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Cache/Transcode/Sync+/ to somewhere wtih more space, so it’s not clogging up the image?

You can create another volume like the following:

      - /media/plextranscode/Sync:/config/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Cache/Transcode/Sync+

This would put the Sync+ directory in a different location than your /config directory.

Ahh, thought that might have been possible. But wasn’t quite sure if you could expand the in container path.

I kinda wanted to do that so that my library wasn’t buried 4 levels deep in that library/application support/Plex media server
