This image allows you to configure a Plex Media Server easily thanks to Docker.

⁠Installation

First, you have to mount your USB drive.

 sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive

This will start Plex using your mounted drive

 docker run -d --restart=always --name plex -v /mnt/usbdrive:/media --net=host jaymoulin/plex

⁠Configuration

Go to http://your_machine_ip:32400/manage to configure it

You can change the Plex Library directory by plugin your local folder to /root/Library folder

Example :

docker run -d --restart=always --name plex -v /mnt/usbdrive:/media --net=host -v /mnt/usbdrive:/root/Library jaymoulin/plex

⁠Appendixes

⁠Install Docker

If you don't have Docker installed yet, you can do it easily in one line using this command

curl -sSL "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/jaymoulin/e749a189511cd965f45919f2f99e45f3/raw/0e650b38fde684c4ac534b254099d6d5543375f1⁠ /ARM%2520(Raspberry%2520PI)%2520Docker%2520Install" | sudo sh && sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

⁠Known issues

⁠libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file

You will probably notice that kind of error log:

/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Tuner Service: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Tuner Service: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Tuner Service: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is a known issue for Plex Tune Service ONLY. This service is not required by Plex Media Server to work properly. I have no intention to fix this log. If you REALLY NEED Plex Tuner Service to work, please open an issue, or (better desired option), make a Pull Request to implement this feature.

⁠Unknown file formats / "This server is not powerful enough to convert video"

Plex for Raspberry PI cannot read some video file format like AVI, WMV or OGM, either due to codec or due to RPI lack of power. You can convert them to make them compatible by using my docker image jaymoulin/rpi-plex-video-converter : https://github.com/jaymoulin/docker-rpi-plex-video-converter⁠
