## ⚙️ Synology 

### 1. Create a dedicated Plex user

- Go to **Control Panel > User & Group**
- Create `plexuser`
- Disable DSM login, no admin rights

### 2. Find UID and GID

SSH into your NAS:

```bash
id plexuser

Example:

uid=1050(plexuser) gid=100(users)

Use these values for PUID and PGID in the docker-compose.yml.

3. Fix Permissions (one-time setup)

sudo chown -R 1050:100 /volume1/docker/plex/config
sudo chmod -R 775 /volume1/docker/plex/config

Optional for media (read-only):

sudo chown -R 1050:100 /volume1/media
sudo chmod -R 755 /volume1/media

---

4. Run Container

cd /volume1/docker/plex
docker-compose up -d

---

5. Access Plex

Open a browser:

http://<your-nas-ip>:32400/web

Sign in and start scanning your media library.
