Installing Plex on openmediavault using Docker Compose

In this video, I will be showing you how to install Plex with Docker-compose including the setup involved to create a network share and create the folders that will be used with Plex. I am running openmediavault with docker-compose for containers. Have any question let me know in the comments, any video ideas are welcome.

**Need help configuring a fresh install of OMV video below**

**Upgraded OMV and don't see your containers**

**Link to OMV-Extras Forum**

**Command for Force update to packages that are kept back**
sudo omv-upgrade

**How to create bootable OMV6**

openmediavault plex
openmediavault plex docker
plex docker
plex docker compose

I just wanted to say that this was awesome. I had tried to use Portainer Docker to implement PLEX with nothing but pure failure. Your instructions made perfect sense. It should have been clear that LinuxServer was designing for Composer and Portainer any longer. It also forced me to update my OMV Pi from 32-Bit to 64-Bit. This way I could take advantage of the ARM 8 processor. Again. Can' than you enough for sharing this knowledge.

I really appreciate this walk through. Visually seeing some one do it really helps.

Incredible, thanks :)

Edit to add: this turorial also allowed me, with a bit of tinkering, to install Roon in a similar fashion. So, if you happen to want to use Roon in OMV, use this:

version: "3.7"
services:
docker-roonserver:
image: elgeeko/roon-server:latest
container_name: docker-roonserver
hostname: docker-roonserver
network_mode: host
environment:
TZ: Etc/UTC
volumes:
- roon-app:/app
- roon-data:/data
- roon-music:/music
- roon-backups:/backup
restart: always

Assign the volume paths in a similar way to the Plex tutorial in the video

Thank you soo much! i was having a hard time with the official PMS docker file.. got many errors with your video i got it up and running in no time (and on first try!)

[TealGators]

thank you so much!! not all superheroes wears a cape.

[karenruth]

Thank you! I'd figured out how to install it, but couldn't figure out what port to access it through

Great Video ! Got my plex server running in vmware. thanks !!!

[dsaarus]

First, Thank you for this. I know that this can be frustrating, and PATIENCE is key to this. Have broken my setup many times, so at least now can get all the way ready for when your video comes on. My question to you is I have lots of videos over three drives. How do I make it so plex can find all three drives.

[youvquz]

It seems is no way to make it work with nvidia driver 525(as I did it for omv 6.3.2), but is working very well with driver version 470.182.03 and Cuda driver 11.4

Are you planning on creating an updated video with instructions to add a Shared Folder in the Compose\Settings so that you can install the docker to that folder? Apparently, a number of people are getting messed up with Docker related solutions such as Compose and Portainer as Docker is not part of "omv-extras" any longer. It should be helpful. Thanks for everything. My PLEX is still going strong because of this video.

Hey Rob, thanks for this amazing tutorial, and all your tutorials about docker it helped me a lot. I created a docker compose container with plex, everything downloads fine it says it is started but the status stays down. Do you have any clue what that could be?

[dontupful]

Thanks so much for this and the Jellyfin tutorial. My Plex is working but I can't seem to share the library with the people outside my network. Even if I enable Remote Access it still says "not available outside your network." So I tried fiddling with the manually assigned public port 32400 but couldn't figure out how to do it properly. Do you know what could be the issue?

[arturberki]

Nice tutorial! Thanks! :) If you have a small free time, is it possible, to make a video, for qbittorent and these automatization to plex? I guess Radarr/Sonarr makes it. today started by your tutorial, and works well the plex with my tv. Thanks a lot again! :D You Saved to me a lot of time.

can u do wireguard on omv 6 as plugin and as docker
specially wg-easy docker
image weejewel/wg-easy

[ptmoy]

I'm really confused with all the different permissions and accounts. Initially, I used the admin account in the plex-docker-compose file. The plex container loaded without issues, and I have no problems accessing plex on port 32400 logging in with my gmail account. I then created an "appuser" account as shown in the video and modified and re-deploy the compose file to use this account. Again the plex container came up without issues in OMV. But I can no longer access the plex server via my browser at port 32400.

What am I doing wrong?

[bpdcraft]

I'm planning on setting this up in a Rpi4 that I don't have yet. Does the Plex Server startup along with the machine if I restart it? Or are there additional steps needed or maybe it has to be manually, to ensure OpenMediaVault and Plex Server are running again?

[marcinw]

at 6:45 you show the "Compose" tab, I don't have it and I have all the plugins installed. How to turn it on?

[youvquz]

please let me know what nvidia driver is ok for omv 6.4.4(kernel 6.1.0)? I tried 525.105.17(sid) and is not working it crash the omv gui; in a previous version(omv 6.4.3 with kernel 6.1.0) it worked very well the nvidia driver 525.105.17 inlcuding cuda version 12; thankls a lot for your tutorial, very useful
