George Posted February 8, 2018 Share #1 Posted February 8, 2018 So at the moment I'm preparing to move off my NetGEAR ReadyNas RN102 onto a XPEnology build. On my NetGEAR at the moment Plex is installed natively as a package. Have been having problems with Plex and it has required me having to reboot the NAS. So looking at the new build, on the one side I like the idea of installing plex in a Docker container, as I can then simply reboot the container, on the other side, why complicate things.

Polanskiman Posted February 8, 2018 Share #2 Posted February 8, 2018 Personally Plex works fine without the need to use Docker. What issues are you experiencing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted February 8, 2018 On the Netgear My client devices use to loose connectivity, at times it required me to reboot plex app, at times it actually required me to reboot the NAS also. I looking at both deployment methods at the moment, 90% of the usage of the NAS will be as a PMS, with additional file storage for photos, music software (Generic NAS duties). Have other issues.... media not playing via Apple TV, but those are better left for the PLEX forum, although also sometimes solved by a reboot.

Polanskiman Posted February 8, 2018 Share #4 Posted February 8, 2018 So the issue is with the ReadyNas not with DSM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted February 8, 2018 The issue Is I'm running Plex primarily, I'm migrating to XPEnology, and I'm trying to decide on how I'm going to deploy it (PMS on the XPEnology), and wanting to hear what peoples experience comment is, to go Native or PMS inside a Docker container. I"m not looking at fixing my current issue on the current NAS, G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polanskiman Posted February 8, 2018 Share #6 Posted February 8, 2018 As I said Plex works fine installed as package directly from Package Center. For me it has been working for years without a hitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bglf83 Posted May 9, 2018 Share #7 Posted May 9, 2018 I run Plex as a native package. I only have to reboot for updates or maintenance. Sometimes it will go many months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
