I’m a bit late to the party haha. Just discovered lemmy yesterday!

Just fyi I run plex bare metal (not through any docker or virtual machines) on my Ubuntu Linux device and everything works very well. I was very inexperienced going into this and installing Linux plus plex is very simple.

You can use the snap function to download and run plex. I think since there’s less overhead as well (especially if you run a headless version of Linux) it might perform even better than on windows on the same machine.

I plan to move it over to docker soon, but honestly unless you plan to run many different machines you don’t really need to since you only really need to configure it once and basically forget it. I’m transferring it over just because I want to get more familiar with docker in general.

Again I know I’m super late to this discussion but thought I’d chime in anyway in case this is something you are still working on or considering.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. I will look into this more and get more familiar with it.

Hey I’ve seen this mentioned before on other posts and have done so on my plex server as well.

But this is the first time I saw someone mention bit subnet masking. Would you mind elaborating a bit? I’m also trying to learn a bit of networking so was curious. Thanks!
