Recently restarted my plex server project. In the past I had tried to host one on a raspberry pi 4b with varying levels of success due to sd card corrution. That pi is currently a retro gaming station running off usb instead. After configuring a wireless bridge with an old router I finally had internet for my old computer server project (8th gen i7). I was determined to run this plex server through a docker-compose.yml file instead of the command line CLI scripts I had used in the past. After a few hours and some difficulties the plex server is up and integrated with Overseerr, Radarr, Sonarr, Jackett and Transmission. It was a fun project and the result is a fully automated media server and a good way to finally learn docker-compose. I've included some pics of my docker-compose setup for anyone curious:
