Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

If you're planning to mount the data directories on the host for your docker setup it should be relatively straight forward I think, docker volumes a little less so. Thinking through it, you'll need to run the container first time with the volumes mounted wherever you like so the container will populate the host mounted data directory with the folder structure, initial database, config file(s) logs, cache, etc. Then it should be as simple as backing up the initial data files just in case, swapping in a copy of the database you've got already got running, the config .xml? I believe, the cache directory, and the logs if you'd like. It's been a while since I've had Plex deployed so I could certainly be missing something though.
Edit: create -> run
