Plex

Plex Media Server organises your movies, series, and music and streams them to the Plex apps on your devices.

This stack runs Plex with a Tailscale sidecar, as described in the standard setup.

At a glance

Item	Value
Web interface	`https://plex.<tailnet>.ts.net/web`
Service port	`32400`
Image	`lscr.io/linuxserver/plex`
Data	`./plex-data/config` (library database and settings)
	`./plex-data/media/movies` (movie library)
	`./plex-data/media/tvseries` (series library)

Claim token. Get a token at https://plex.tv/claim and add it to PLEX_CLAIM= in compose.yaml. The token expires after four minutes, so start the stack right away. Without it, the server starts unclaimed and is not linked to your Plex account.
Media folders. Point the /movies and /tv volumes in compose.yaml at your own media folders. Otherwise the stack starts with empty folders in ./plex-data/media.

Web interface path. The web interface is at /web. The root path / answers with server information in XML.
No host networking. The image documentation recommends host networking. This stack uses the network of the tailscale container and publishes no ports, so devices that are not on your Tailnet cannot reach Plex.

Open the web interface and sign in with your Plex account. Then add your libraries with /movies and /tv as folders.
