Okay, so I guess going from old school PMS to Docker is a necessity as updater scripts keep breaking when Plex changes its API and URLs on the regular. I have not used Docker at any point before, so I am ignorant to be frank.
My current PMS has the following libraries:
Concerts: /media/storage2/Videos/Concerts
Movies: /media/storage2/Videos/Movies
Music: /media/storage3/Music/Plex
Comedy: /media/storage2/Videos/Comedy
TV Shows: /media/storage2/Videos/TV Shows
UHD Movies & Docus: /media/storage4/Videos/4KMovies
UHD TV Shows: /media/storage2/Videos/4KTVShows
FamilyMemories: /media/storage2/Videos/Personal
Transcode is from: /media/storage5/plex/temp/
Also, Concerts and Movies use a SYMLINK to storage4 at this time so the library data wouldn’t be lost. Back in the day I had that issue and don’t know if Plex still does so I left the SYMLINK in place since 2014…
My meek assumptions on getting this done, after reading a few posts, are to do:
apt-get install docker.io
docker pull plexinc/pms-docker
sudo docker create
–name=plex
–net=host
–restart=always
-e VERSION=latest
-e PUID=1001 -e PGID=1001
-e TZ=America/New_York
-v /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/:/config
-v /media/storage5/plex/temp/:/transcode
linuxserver/plexdpkg --remove pms (will find its package name later)
sudo docker start plex
However, I’m not sure how to accomplish all of my libraries so that data is not lost.
"-v /media/storage2/Videos/Movies:/data/movies " seems right. But, how would I make the Docker’s /data/path for all of the rest of the custom ones so that their original data is picked up from the config file?
And, is there anything else important missing to keep things operating just like it was on the old PMS installed via dpkg?
