(0:00) Intro

(2:09) For starters, we need to create a dedicated volume to store all of our Plex media.

sudo mkdir plex_media

(2:50) Now we are ready to install plex in docker using docker compose.

sudo vi docker-compose.yaml

Add this under the section for grafana.....

plex:
container_name: plex
network_mode: host
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- VERSION=docker
volumes:
- plex_data:/config
- /home/adrian/plex_media:/media
restart: always
image: linuxserver/plex

volumes:
plex_data:

Save it and then.....

sudo docker-compose up -d

Once the container is created you can jump over to Portainer and make sure that everything looks good with the new install.

(5:42) Let's follow along with the video to configure plex.

(8:20) Once that is done than as an added bonus, let's add the new plex server to Home Assistant.
