Hey Alan,
I've looked at multiple tutorials on the web and I must say that yours was the most helpful.
Your video is simple but also mentions some key features.
Instructions were really clear and It was a breeze following this tutorial.

I did the same as you explained but plex does not see folders inside my smb share
it only shows config folder

I followed your steps but I get this error when I click on deploy: Deployment error
failed to deploy a stack: services.restart must be a mapping

How to find the directory of my container? because I don't have any share for Portainer on my OMV installation and portainer still works

[retrobrahhh]

I just don't get it. I have a NAS. Docker is available to install on it. I did. Now what? What is Docker? How and why would I run Plex from it, if it's already running on my NAS? Makes no sense to me.
