Late last year, I bought a Blu-ray/DVD drive for my home computer and ripped all the movies and television shows I have on physical disks. The files are now stored on the NAS running in my local network. I can watch that media on just about any device in my house using Plex, a wonderful piece of software for streaming media around the network.
Cannot claim Plex Media Server in docker container. Posted by 2 years ago. Cannot claim Plex Media Server in docker container. I have a really weird problem. I am trying to setup a Plex Media Server in docker. I am using docker-compose to setup all of my containers. Below is my docker-compose.yml file.
Today I’ll explain how I set up my system to run Plex’s software via the LinuxServer.io Plex image on a Docker host in my basement.
Want to learn more about my home network? Last time I wrote about running a Unifi Controller image.
As I was able to see in the Plex dashboard that the server considered playback as being from a remote client, the first port of call was to address the bandwidth settings in the Plex Server settings. This is noted as recommended in the Plex Docker image documentation, but I had missed this. Surprisingly this is not a setting which is. Nov 06, 2015 Joined November 6, 2015.

In order to create your own Smart List, you will need to first enable Custom Smart List: 1. Sign in TickTick on the web. Todoist, Facilethings, and Nirvanahq are probably your best bets out of the 34 options considered. 'Multi-platform compatibility' is the primary reason people pick Todoist over the competition. This page is powered by a knowledgeable community that helps you make an informed decision. TickTick positions itself as a direct competitor to Todoist. At $28 a year it delivers most of Todoist’s features at almost half the price, plus some things Todoist doesn’t have like custom views (a.k.a. Smart lists) and a built-in calendar view. Lots of delightful productivity extras. TickTick is the best to-do list app, thanks to its simple and structured project organization, seamless calendar integration, and ability to fit into many different workflows (rather than making.

A group of like-minded enthusiasts from across the world who build and maintain the largest collection of Docker images on the web. At our core are the principles behind Free and Open Source Software. Our primary goal is to provide easy-to-use and streamlined Docker images with clear and concise documentation.
I’ve been using LinuxServer.io images for a couple of years; they are certainly easy-to-use, clear, and concisely documented. I tend to check here first when I need a new image.
Plex Container Configuration
I tend to use
docker-compose
to build and run my images and containers. Here are the contents of the docker-compose.yml
for this project:Much of this is derived from the instructions in the image’s README file:
image: linuxserver/plex:1.20.1.3252-a78fef9a9-ls116
Let’s step through some of the interesting bits.
Version
My personal preference is to lock images down to a specific version, if at all feasible. This way I won’t be surprised when, say, a new version of an image requires or breaks the current configuration. LinuxServer is great about providing versioned images over time.
Personally, I rarely update the Plex image. I don’t use it that often, so new features are not particularly compelling to me.
Devices
Here I make the Intel QuickSync device available to the container. It’s used for hardware transcoding. The README’s Hardware Acceleration section has more information.
Environment
LinuxServer has a great system for setting user and group permissions. In this case, I have
PUID
and PGID
set to the user and group number on my host system. (I have the comment there so that, when I look at this file again three months later, I can remember why I have some hardcoded numbers typed into the file.)Services
These ports are recommended by the image’s README file. The README and comments document what all of them are for. Famous vogue photographer. In my case, I’m running in
bridge
more, and two of the port mappings are commented out because they were conflicting with something else on my system. I avoided the problem by not using those mappings, and everything is working well enough in my home. Your mileage may vary. Check the README for more information.Plex Server Docker Container
Volumes
Installing Plex On Docker
Last are my volume mappings. Two things of note:
- I map the two
Media
directories read-only to provide a little extra protection if something goes wrong. - I have the
transcode
directory mapped separately from theconfig
directory so that it’s easier to back up one without the other.

Getting a Little Trickier

This configuration is a smidge more sophisticated than the Unifi Controller configuration I wrote about last time. It’s got a device mapping, a different kind of networking, and some trial-and-error port configuration. But it’s hopefully still not too bad. I look forward to future posts with even more sophisticated setups.
