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 run everything but Plex in docker on a NUC. Plex runs right on my Synology as a package. If you go this route you should know the version in Synology is quite a few releases back, but you can easily do a manual install in package center to get the latest Plex version.
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.
