The LinuxServer.io team brings you another container release featuring easy user mapping and community support. Find us for support at:

#linuxserver.io - Podcast covers everything to do with getting the most from your Linux Server plus a focus on all things Docker and containerisation!
Plex organizes video, music and photos from personal media libraries and streams them to smart TVs, streaming boxes and mobile devices. This container is packaged as a standalone Plex Media Server.
docker create \
--name=plex \
--net=host \
-e PUID=<UID> -e PGID=<GID> \
-v </path/to/library>:/config \
-v <path/to/tvseries>:/data/tvshows \
-v </path/to/movies>:/data/movies \
-v </path for transcoding>:/transcode \
lsioarmhf/plex
The parameters are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side. For example with a port -p external:internal - what this shows is the port mapping from internal to external of the container. So -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 http://192.168.x.x:8080 would show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 80.
--net=host- Shares host networking with container, required.-v /config- Plex library location. This can grow very large.-v /data/xyz- Media goes here. Add as many as needed e.g./data/movies,/data/tv, etc.-v /transcode- Path for transcoding folder, optional.-e PGID=for for GroupID - see below for explanation-e PUID=for for UserID - see below for explanation
It is based on ubuntu xenial with s6 overlay, for shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it plex /bin/bash.
Sometimes when using data volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" TM.
In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001. To find yours use id user as below:
$ id <dockeruser>
uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)
IMPORTANT... THIS IS THE ARMHF VERSION

To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f plex -
container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' plex
- image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lsioarmhf/plex
