Hey thanks a ton for this vid, helped me out! My Ubuntu HTPC has 3HDDs. the .yml folders we created are on /home. How do I get them on to my other drives, where all my media is? Where they are now is the smaller SSD. Thanks.
You can just navigate to the directory where you have mounted your drives and create the .yaml files and run docker compose at that location instead :)
Ok I have one question. If I want to add another folder, or network location. Do I have to remove the container and re-create it, or can I do that without removing the container?
I did the step to add the 3 file paths to the docker-compose.yml file. But when I launch the web UI it still appears that the folders for movies and tv shows have not been "ingested" correctly. So I need to add the libraries myself manually. Is this expected behaviour?
Thanks for this great tutorial, however I found a better way of putting my folders into the compose file. Instead of putting each catagory like, movies, tv etc, just put - /media/plex/:/plex Now I have networks shares in /media/plex/movies,/media/plex/tv etc, but I only need one line instead of multiple lines. So in plex when you want to add your movies, just go to plex/movies.
Bro, you're the best, I've been racking my brain for days. your tutorial is excellent. Thanks a lot
Happy to help! :)
Wonderful job, thank you very much!
Do you have GPU Hardware Acceleration working on your Plex docker container?

Docker compose paths are for the image to have access to those folders.
Does this work with Debian 12?
Yes it should do
Isn't Plex a self hosted application? Why should I register in their web app?
If for example you want to stream outside of your local home network you will need a plex account 🙂
You have to set an ip address in settings of machines you want to connect without signing in. It's in settings somewhere LOL
@@thetechtaurus I can stream outside my house without a plex account
wtf is with you youtubers constantly clearing your terminal?!?! Seriously annoying having to switch and rewind every 4 seconds.

That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing
