compose and other things for home configuration of dockerized media server.

• If this is the first start, create a new Docker user, for example porpuses we will call it dockeruser

adduser dockeruser

• Once user is create, we will need to get its UID, for example porpuses we will assume the id is 1000

id -u dockeruser

• Create two env variables on your system with:

PUID=1000 PGID=1000

• Create environmet varibles file (variables.env) or define DOMAIN_URL, STORAGE_LOCATION, PLEX_CLAIM, PLEX_HOSTNAME, PGID and PUID environmet variables in your system. (https://docs.docker.com/compose/env-file/)

Examples:

DOMAIN_URL=mydomain.com
STORAGE_LOCATION=/home/storage
PLEX_CLAIM="plex-provided-claim-hash"
PLEX_HOSTNAME=MyHousePlex
PGID=1000
PUID=1000

• Change directory to your docker-compose path and execute docker-compose up -d . Wait for initialization.

• One time PLEX configuration. You may need to login using ssh tunnel, to access to plex webapp via localhost. You can use the following script:

ssh -L port:localhost:port user@remote

For Plex, this could be:

ssh -L 32400:localhost:32400 root@yourserverip

• Once connected, browse with any browser to localhost:32400/web and Plex should show up.

• Once Plex is fully configured, you can disconnect the SSH Tunnel.

• (Optional) Copy extra files, like PLEX Plugins and such in their respective directories. This has to be done once the first time init is finished.

cp pluginpath $PLEX_HOME/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins
