Running Plex within Docker container

[kingsingh]

Hi there,

I just want to know if people have had any success running Plex in a Docker container via Rancher OS? I set it up and it works great and not had any errors in the log. I want to know what other people have experienced?

Thanks

I was going to do dockers with my newest system. But one's I started to read in to it more It sounded like a bad idea. Its like FreeNas It wants to be on bare metal. So I opted to stick with Jails. It did push me to learn more about warden's then iocage's. I am happy its working for yeah :).

I also have premium music working too awesome. I am still in the testing phase. So, far no errors and everything is working good on FreeNAS via Docker container.

I may still do a test system with dockers just because I want to. What do you all have ruining ?

Unless you need features that would only be available on Linux I would stick to jail for running services as it’s less overhead. But if you have rancher up anyway I guess it doesn’t matter much except maybe NFS shares being slower then nullfs (haven’t tested that). I do run docker in a Ubuntu VM on my machine for Bitwarden and collabora for Nextcloud, but for anything I can set up in a jail I will always choose the jail.

A couple of things to think about when choosing to use "Docker VM" via RancherOS. The user cannot upgrade RancherOS and so you cannot keep up with their frequent releases - see: https://github.com/rancher/os/releases AFAIK, the use of RancherOS is to be deprecated in FreeNAS version 11.3 onwards. Adding docker to a linux VM of your choice may be a better option.

This really sucks i just moved everything from jails to RancherOS but luckily Rancher has docker-compose so it will be easier to move to an Ubuntu VM.

Just make sure to keep a manual snapshot and a config from be for.
Then if you want to go back you can.
