## What it is
The official Docker container image and compose templates for running Plex Media Server. It packages PMS with configuration for bridge, host, and macvlan networking modes.

## Use cases
- run plex media server in docker
- self-host a media streaming server
- deploy plex with docker-compose
- containerize my movie and music library server
- set up plex with host or macvlan networking
- run plex on a home server or NAS

## When to choose
- you want the official, maintained Plex Media Server container
- you run Docker or docker-compose and want a simple PMS setup
- you need flexible networking modes (bridge, host, macvlan)

## When to avoid
- you don't use Docker and prefer a native PMS install
- you need a different media server like Jellyfin or Emby
- you require a license other than Plex's proprietary terms

## Facets
- artifact type: infra-config
- maturity: active
- function: self-hosted, deployment, container-runtime, streaming
- domain: media, self-hosted
- platform: self-hosted
- tags: plex, media-server, docker-image, docker-compose, home-server, devops, docker, linux
