docker-plex VS dockprom

I've tried with couple of repositories but I'm mainly using this one now: lscr.io/linuxserver/plex I gave up on this sometime ago but would now like to get at least RAM transcode working for Plex. The GPU transcode can wait.

I found this, but don't see anything similar for ghcr.io in the images list in the docker UI.

I'm facing a similar issue. I reported it to the linuxserver team (publisher of that docker image), they think it's a plex issue. https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-plex/issues/357

I've messed with Plex in docker quite a lot though, so if you put your code in GitHub I should be able to point out an option for getting it done. Might not make sense for Plexamp for some reason, I've usually started with this repo https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-plex and forked when I was making my own Plex containers. I was thinking of doing that for Plexamp, but I've not looked at what's needed to map sound devices properly. It has an example of where to run a Plex claim script before starting up Plex to run as a service.

FWIW it's probably not a great idea to use the Plex or Jellyfin (or any really) images from lsio. They do stupid shit like this which is not needed with Kubernetes. You can add a security context with those GIDs as supplemental groups. Also all their containers start as root which is not considered best practice.

These are their historical container versions - https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-plex/releases

The linuxserver plex image can actually check for updates when the container starts. It's a bit of an anti-pattern. Here's the script: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-plex/blob/master/root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-plex-update/run

This guide before was just just kinda streamlined version of of the great stefanprodan/dockprom.

Dockprom is a solid starting point. It gives the essentials and you can tweak it to your liking. For example I forgo Alertmanager (for now) but have added more exporters, data sources, etc.

For tracking stats - Grafana, paired with appropriate backends. Dockprom is a nice starting point as it comes with most things preconfigured. You just need to tweak them accordingly.

i used Dockprom (https://github.com/stefanprodan/dockprom) at one point, it looks and works well however I found the CPU usage at the time higher than it should be. Your CPU would handle it easily, but it was still causing 10% CPU usage which i didn't like. I don't think this is a widespread common issue it's a very popular project but just a heads up to keep an eye on CPU if you decide to test it out.

Take a look at https://github.com/stefanprodan/dockprom as a way to work with Docker, docker compose, grafana, prometheus and more.

https://github.com/stefanprodan/dockprom Read the YML and remove what you aren’t using.

If you run plex in a docker container I highly recommend this grafana dashboard setup: https://github.com/stefanprodan/dockprom

Something like dockerprom can do that for you :) https://github.com/stefanprodan/dockprom
