Setup my first Plex server, and used Docker for the first time and this is what I've achieved! Is there anything I've missed?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/PleX

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • nvidia-docker

    Discontinued Build and run Docker containers leveraging NVIDIA GPUs

  • If you're going to make your plex server available to others outside your network, you're likely going to be transcoding the streams. If you were planning on using an Nvidia gpu, you'll need this to give your plex container access to your gpu.

  • Doplarr

    An *arr request bot for Discord

  • Doplarr is a godsend

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • docker-transmission-openvpn

    Docker container running Transmission torrent client with WebUI over an OpenVPN tunnel

  • For plexi/sonarr/radarr, it also adds in isolation. Meaning the sonarr docker container doesn't have access to the radarr one. If you have a VPN / client you use to torrent, use something like this , there's no reason it needs to be running on youre entire host machine, potentially slowing down Plex streams. It's safe. That container doesn't know the world outside of the VPN/ torrent client world. It can't get out to the real internet regardless of if the VPN disconnects

  • gluetun

    VPN client in a thin Docker container for multiple VPN providers, written in Go, and using OpenVPN or Wireguard, DNS over TLS, with a few proxy servers built-in.

  • overseerr

    Request management and media discovery tool for the Plex ecosystem

  • cloudflare-ddns

    short scripts to update cloudflare records with your public ip (by fabricionaweb)

  • Whisparr

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • homer

    A very simple static homepage for your server.

  • Yeah but it's configurable from a central location, and portable. I found another comment here which mentioned "Homer", that looks really good too. https://github.com/bastienwirtz/homer

  • Cloudbox

    Ansible-based solution for rapidly deploying a Docker containerized cloud media server.

  • why not use https://cloudbox.works and save some time managing it all yourself?

  • Kometa

    Python script to update metadata information for items in plex as well as automatically build collections and playlists. The Wiki Documentation is linked below.

  • Check out their wiki and Ibracorp's video.

  • homeflix

  • Transmission

    Official Transmission BitTorrent client repository

  • As for my Plex Media Server, that's running on bare metal along with my torrent client (Transmission).
