I have an Intel NUC running plex media server on ubuntu headless server. It’s running beautifully, and barely uses the nuc’s resources. The videos are stored on a synology ds923+ NAS.

I’m thinking of adding a couple of new services to the NUC and would like to move to a dockerised setup. This would involve moving the plexmediaserver into a docker.

Is there a good way to do this without having to recreate and rescan all the plex video libraries?

    You can just copy over the Library folder, that should do it. Then set up the plex Docker to use bind mounts instead of volumes and place your old library into that bind mount.

    I usually do ~/docker/plex/Library and have the Docker compose file in the ~/docker/plex folder
