Guide for setup a Plex server
Guide for setup a Plex server
Just like title. I remember there is a very detailed guide for setup a Plex server with Sonarr/Radarr for streaming from everywhere in my house. But I can't find it anymore.
If anyone has a guide and share it, I would be appreciate.
You're viewing a single thread.
I have a docker compose script you can have that sets up an array of arr containers as well as plex and enby, plus qbittorrent and jackett fed through a vpn container. Ping me tomorrow so I can anonymize it and pass it to you if you'd like.
I'd be interested in seeing it if you wouldn't mind passing it along
Sorry it took a while, busy weekend.
Here you can find the script. I commented the parts that i thought were not clear.
This does not include the streaming apps since people seem to have very strong preferences about that.
I use both Plex and Emby for different types of media, but any media server will work with this setup so I left those out to leave it more generic.
I also left Heimdall in there cause i find a landing page very useful but feel free to remove it as needed.
You will need OpenVPN credentials as provided by your VPN service, check here for a list of supported services and general FAQs and here for the tutorial this is based on.
Thank you very much! That is very helpful!
Very interesting, thank you for sharing! Question from a newbie: why did you declare the host_network external network? What purpose does it serve and how is it managed?
You can see more in the tutorial I linked.
I'm no expert myself but it is my understanding that the VPN container needs an explicit reference to the network to use to connect outwardly, and that definition just tells it to use the default connection of the host machine.
