My almost perfect media server setup consists of: Media Servers Note, you can still use the old Plex docker-compose file (read below) if you do not want to have multiple transcoding servers. The setup of Plex Transcoding over multiple servers is a little complex, so it's worth reading: here, here, and here for details, and then going through the docker-compose file for Plex. There's a lot here, I'll add some screen-shots and do a proper blog write-up on this one day so youĬan see it all working, for now you'll have to take my word If you want to 'cut the cord' - You're I've added in the ability to run multiple Plex transcoders (in multiple Docker containers that youĬan split the transcoding process over multiple hosts) if your Plex server has a lot of users.

Added in Health Checking support of key containers, and automatic subtitle downloading support. Include Radarr script to move primary directory of a radarr movie (useful if you change your drive/nas structure/layout)'
