Configure and Create Docker container from imageįor most containers without complex settings, it is easiest to launch the provided Wizard which will provide a UI based setup process.
This step is equivalent to cli “docker pull linuxserver/plex:latest”. This step will also provide you with an option to select version which are detailed in the documentation.
Click on the Download button to actually download the wanted image.
Always check the documentation in order to plan your setup. Click on Search button to search in the set repositories. Enter the name of the wanted image based on /. If you run many containerized apps, you may need to re-map conflicting ports. Ports need to be opened, and sometimes re-mapped, to make Plex and other apps accessible from outside of the container. You may also want to keep your media library, configurations and plug-ins folder outside of your container. In case of Plex, you keep your actual media files outside of the container so the container needs at least read access to your media folders. The link will take you to the Docker page for that specific image ( ).įor most containers, it is about which ports and file shares you want to share between your container and host environment. Click on the link to browse the documentation which informs about important switches and configuration settings. Search the official Docker registry for the Plex distribution. Find and download linuxserver/plex in the Docker registry When creating and configuring the container, I map paths within the container to these external paths. This folder contains the Plex Library which can grow quite large, Logs, Settings and the Plug-Ins folder. For Plex, I’ve chosen to export the entire Library structure out of the container. The docker folder is a shared folder on my NAS. This approach makes container upgrades, backups and configuration easier. I’ve chosen to keep many settings and other data outside of my containers. Docker is available from the Main menu Sharing persistent data with Docker containers 
The package is provided and maintained by Synology. Go into the Package Center and install Docker. Docker support is a separate install on Synology DSM For some containers, I want them to auto update when restarted and linuxserver makes it easy for an end user like myself. They are popular amongst the Docker community and they provide the base images for most of my utility installs such as SABNZBd, PLEX and Unifi Controller. The good news is that once setup, you can use the Synology UI to control the start/stop events and also view the logs. A recent docker bug on Synology wiped all my container configuration which is the reason for switching to docker-compose, which I anyhow find more user friendly and easy to use. A new updated version using docker-compose is available here.
