LinuxServer.io's Docker image for running the Plex Media Server in a container. It provides regularly updated builds with easy user mapping (PUID/PGID) and a consistent s6-overlay base.

Use cases

  • run plex media server in docker
  • self-host a plex server on my nas
  • containerized plex with hardware transcoding
  • keep plex media server up to date automatically
  • deploy plex on unraid or home server
  • run plex behind a reverse proxy in docker

When to choose

  • you want a maintained, regularly updated Plex container image
  • you run a LinuxServer.io-based homelab stack and want consistent base layers
  • you need easy PUID/PGID permission mapping for media files

When to avoid

  • you prefer the official Plex Docker image
  • you don't use Docker or container runtimes
  • you need to modify the Plex server itself, since this packages the closed-source binary
