I have a RaspberryPi with a Plex container sitting upstairs. Works like a charm

Same here. Got a Namecheap domain, that I’ve eventually migrated to a Cloudflare nameserver. Updates are ran by ddclient on the server itself

Post your launch command, or compose file

There aren’t really any reasons to avoid it. There are certainly reasons to choose an alternative product, namely the complete unavailability of 4B and 5 boards. My biggest issue so far is that the alternatives offer features that I don’t want, or have a price that’s way too high for a SBC

This has worked great for me

It doesn’t matter what your host os is, if you’re using docker. Choose whichever one you like more

All my music rips go into the Lidarr indexer, and it handles the rest. Playback handled by Plex

I have a Syncthing container copying my entire DCIM folder on the phone. It’s jank, but it works fast, and I have copies of stuff on my other devices by extension

At least from my experience, with a proper blacklist it shuts down a ton more stuff. Not just pure ads, but a ton of tracking and websites/apps phoning home too. You can configure it to be as strict or lenient as you’d like, basically. For me it’s nice, because I can just apply it to the entire network, and I don’t have to worry about trying to explain how this works to my family

I totally get that tbh. The app keeps giving me notifications for recommendations of shit from services I never even connected. I use this exclusively for my local media

I’ve used both for an extensive amount of time, and found Plex to be superior in basically every way. It’s both nicer to use, and the library is a bit easier to manage. Not to mention all the back-end things you might want to use if you’re heavy into video usage
