New official installer for Plex Media Server - implement as an OMV plugin?

  • Last time I've had any contact with Plex, hardware transcoding was only available when the server was running directly on the metal and not in a VM or container.


    If that has changed and Docker is able to run on my low-powered Intel Apollo-Lake mini pc, I'd be glad to give it a try.

    The current OMV Plex plugin doesn't really add a lot of value. I does provide a facility for moving the location of the database and provides for the installation of the deprecated PlexPy program.


    If you can't (or don't want to) run dockers then just install Plex manually. You can keep it current by subscribing to the appropriate repo provided by Plex. If you need to relocate the database you can create the required override file according to the documentation available from Plex directly.

  • Since the available plug-in from OVM Extras is no longer supported to run directly on the hardware

    Unless I'm very wrong it runs on bare metal as you would say or run natively as a application and not in a Docker container.
