How to Set Up Plex in Docker on Windows 11 and Direct Storage Locations?

You might want to check out the basics of Docker first. There are a lot of resources available, like the official documentation. It can help clarify how Docker works and how to set everything up correctly. Certain subreddits like r/Plex could also be helpful for specific prompts related to setting up Plex!

For getting things to work between containers, you could check out yams.media. It has some great solutions for managing interactions between your Docker containers. It might save you some setup headaches!

For the Docker Plex setup, you can use the LinuxServer Plex image. You'll need to use a Docker Compose file and set your volume paths like this, making sure to use quotes and forward slashes:
- "i:/tv:/tv"
- "i:/movies:/movies"

If that doesn't work, you could also try this format:
- "/i/tv:/tv"
- "/i/movies:/movies"
Experiment a little and see what sticks!

Just a heads up, Plex really recommends running the app directly on Windows or MacOS instead of in Docker, especially since it runs in a VM on these OSs. If you’re determined to use Docker, consider that while it can work, you might run into more complexities than if you just run Plex on your PC directly.
