Instructions to run:
docker run -d -h *your_host_name* -v /*your_config_location*:/config -v /*your_videos_location*:/data -p 32400:32400 plex
or for auto detection add --net="host". Though be aware this more insecure but should be fine on your personal servers.
docker run -d --net="host" -h *your_host_name* -v /*your_config_location*:/config -v /*your_videos_location*:/data -p 32400:32400 plex
The first time it runs, it will initialize the config directory and terminate.
You will need to modify the auto-generated config file to allow connections from your local IP range. This can be done by modifying the file:
your_config_location/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Preferences.xml
and adding allowedNetworks="192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0" as a parameter in the <Preferences ...> section. (Or what ever your local range is)
Start the docker instance again and it will stay as a daemon and listen on port 32400.
Browse to: http://*ipaddress*:32400/web to run through the setup wizard.
If using the Docker Beta on OSX, try the following
docker run -d -h $(hostname) -v /*your_config_location*:/config -v /*your_videos_location*:/data -p 32400:32400 plex
and then in the local web browser go to localhost:32400/web to access the locally running container.
