🎬 Plex — Stream Like a Pro

Tired of hopping between 5 different streaming platforms just to find that one movie? Plex turns your device into a media server — stream what you own, when you want.

🧠 TL;DR

Central hub for all your movies, shows, music, and photos
Remote streaming, metadata magic, and mobile apps galore
More polished than Jellyfin, but partially proprietary
Optional paid features via Plex Pass (but you don’t have to)

🐳 Docker (Because containers are cool)

Here’s a slick docker-compose.yml setup for Plex — run it, tweak it, rule your media world:

version: '3.8'

services:
  plex:
    image: linuxserver/plex
    container_name: plex
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - VERSION=docker
      - PLEX_CLAIM= # Optional: claim token from https://www.plex.tv/claim
    volumes:
      - /path/to/config:/config
      - /path/to/media:/data
    restart: unless-stopped

🚪 Access Plex

Once it’s up and running:

Visit:
Terminal window
