Plex server migration to docker based? (self.selfhosted)

submitted 1 year ago by DrTeeth to c/selfhosted

I have an Intel NUC running plex media server on ubuntu headless server. It's running beautifully, and barely uses the nuc's resources. The videos are stored on a synology ds923+ NAS.

I'm thinking of adding a couple of new services to the NUC and would like to move to a dockerised setup. This would involve moving the plexmediaserver into a docker.

Is there a good way to do this without having to recreate and rescan all the plex video libraries?

I originally migrated plex away from the NAS, because I wanted to upgrade to a non intel based NAS (ds923+ is a ryzen based setup. So no hardware transcoding). I'm super happy with the NAS , and by moving plex to the NUC I have freed my self from Synology NAS chip restrictions.

Also plex works better than it ever has on a synology.
