Hey everyone! I'm trying to set up Plex on my Windows 11 machine using Docker, but I'm struggling with a couple of things. First off, I need help directing where my apps store their data, specifically for my media folders like I:/movies and I:/tv. How can I translate those into workable directories for Docker? Also, I want to ensure that my Docker containers are using my VPN, as I have a PIA subscription. Any tips on how to get this all set up would be greatly appreciated!

For Plex on Docker, it's often suggested to run it directly on Windows or MacOS instead, since running it in Docker (which uses a VM on those OS) can lead to some hiccups. That said, if you're committed to Docker, make sure to check out this Docker image for Plex. When specifying volume paths, remember to put them in quotes and use forward slashes. Here’s how you could set it up:
- "i:/tv:/tv"
- "i:/movies:/movies"
Give it a shot!
Have you checked out the basics of Docker? You can find a lot of helpful instructions at the official docs. It could really clear things up for your setup. Also, you might want to browse through the Plex and self-hosted forums, as they’ve got some specific tips for using Plex with Docker. Good luck!
If you're looking for an easier way to manage Docker containers, check out yams.media. It helps streamline a lot of the interactions between containers, which could end up saving you a lot of headaches.
To ensure your Docker containers connect through your VPN, you might need to set up your VPN client to run alongside Docker. That way, all container traffic routes through the VPN. Double-check your PIA settings to see if they have any specific guidelines for Docker setups!
