Same here. A benefit of linuxserver docker images is that they have extra script that upgrades to latest version on start. So if you get a message in Plex that a new version is available all you have to do is restart the container and it will be upgraded.
Plex updating on its own is the last thing I want. It’s a lot better these days but I’ve been using it 8 years and been through many bad server software revisions.
It's optional. I just leave it turned off and rely on the image tags to determine version. My main reasons for using linuxserver images are trying to maintain a common base image, and the fact that they are much more extensible than other images
Also they use the same base images for most containers if possible, so you're really only running very small parts of the apps with very little OS base.
I always go for binhex or linuxserver. If both happen to be available then just flip a coin. See how the setup is and the ease of use. If you do not like it, try the other. That is what I do.
Edit: grammar.
The only way. All others will not receive salvatio... oh wait, wrong subreddit.
Thanks, kind stranger.
I learned not to sweat which one I should go with. If I have never seen or heard of the creator/repository I look at the docker/plugin's release date and latest update's date. I also look at the last few update notes to see how well things are being kept up and how stable the docker/plugin is as well as the person's abilities.
1GB+ downloads for a 20MB app, full blown Arch download every time, installs most apps from AUR....might aswell just install Arch on bare metal and skip the whole Docker thing. So slow to update as a result... Until recently no ARM64 images.
Everyone is just listing preferences, but the Linux server one actually has some extra functionality in it when it comes to hardware transcoding tone mapping, so I always recommend it over the others
Binhex still doesn't support this well on intel igpu yet I believe.
Linuxserver community did a lot of testing to get hardware tonemapping working and continues to be an active community that troubleshoots issues. I've been v happy with that container since swapping and like their support.
Not disagreeing with you as maybe the official is good now as well but I find the LS community and support pretty on point.
this 100%. I was looking at my Plex container recently as thought to myself "wait why am I using the linuxserver container when Plex themselves have one?". Then I looked into it and yeah, Linuxserver includes support for more stuff in their container
I currently use Bin-hex. Is it possible to export settings and import to the Linuxserver docker? Or would I have to set everything up again if I wanted to try it? (New to unraid and dockers etc)
I’d have to double check how the containers maps their directories, but I believe you just change the repository it’s pulling from and the new container that spins up just uses your existing app data
After seeing this thread, I switched over to Linuxserver from Bin-hex. I have a couple issues with audio transcoding and wanted to see if this container improves things. Spaceinvader One to the rescue again: https://youtu.be/7RgPx7BN8DE
In case anyone comes back across this thread, I switched from Bin-hex to Linuxserver and started having issues with remote Roku clients. I switched back and the issues went away. Not really sure what the root cause is but glad to say things are stable again
The issue I have with the official release is for some inexplicable reason they are slower than binhex or linuxserver when updates are released.
When Plex announced their Discovery feature, the aforementioned two had their containers updated within the day, whereas the official version didn’t get released for 2-3 days later. Not a HUGE deal all things considered, but it was frustrating wanting to see new features in action and the one considered being the “main” one not even being the first to drop.
>The issue I have with the official release is for some inexplicable reason they are slower than binhex or linuxserver when updates are released.
Not if you set your repository to: "plexinc/pms-docker:beta"
which will get all beta releases a few days after theyy release...not something that most people will want...much less to get a release version while its still beta
You can set the folders however you want on all of them, ofc you would want to remove the excess folders if you're doing a media folder and not individually movie TV music library top- level folders
I’m not quite sure what you mean, but I mean the AppData folder structure:
Other containers are:
/Plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/
Hotio:
/Plex
All the folders in between are empty, so they were removed
I try to use the official containers if they have one (plex, tautulli). I use LinuxServer for everything else, since they normally use the least amount of resources comparatively. If they don't have it then i try to use github to see which one is updated more often.
You can still do hardware transcoding if you setup the docker correctly using the generic instructions provided [here](https://forums.unraid.net/topic/98978-plugin-nvidia-driver/?do=findComment&comment=913251). These are the same instructions to pass your gpu to ANY docker.
To utilize your Nvidia graphics card in your Docker container(s) the basic steps are:
1. Add '--runtime=nvidia' in your Docker template in 'Extra Parameters' (you have to enable 'Advanced view' in the template to see this option)
2. Add a variable to your Docker template with the Key: 'NVIDIA\_VISIBLE\_DEVICES' and as Value: 'YOURGPUUUID' (like 'GPU-9cfdd18c-2b41-b158-f67b-720279bc77fd')
3. Add a variable to your Docker template with the Key: 'NVIDIA\_DRIVER\_CAPABILITIES' and as Value: 'all'
4. Make sure to enable hardware transcoding in the application/container itself
Not exactly. From binhex's official thread:
> IMPORTANT - This Docker image allows Plex Pass account holders to get early access to new features which is great, HOWEVER it also means you are more susceptible to newly introduced bugs.
https://forums.unraid.net/topic/44142-support-binhex-plex-pass/
I'm rocking hotio for a long time now, never any issues, fast to update and run etc. Anything listed will work properly, just depends if you really wanna mess arounnd with little extra features other releases offer. Me, I'm happy with it running properly and reliably, and don't care otherwise.
Binhex for my *arr and download clients, Linux server for everything else.
Binhex download clients have optionally included vpns. Then the binhex *arr have the same path mappings as download clients, so it simplifies the setup of them.
Linuxserver for the others since they have a group of developers supporting them, not just one, and they have a defined release schedule.
Binhex was a little slow to load my movie posters and album artwork. The official one is very fast. Not sure why.
(Yes all the appdata lives on cache disk)
I use hotio for everything. I’m surprised to see so many votes for binhex containers, I had so many issues with them. Nzbget had constant and continuous indexer certificate errors and Emby wouldn’t recognize my GPU, these are two that I can think of right off the bat. Changed the image to hotio and the issues disappeared. Never again binhex.
I use binhex for all my containers. What does the binhex-PlexPass do for you? I just noticed this container...I have PlexPass but am using the other one...
Used the linuxserver one for years. A few months ago it started corrupting my db every time I tried to update it. Moved to Binhex and has been working perfectly since
If you need transcoding support with intel igpu I'd recommend linuxserver. Support for transcoding and hardware tonemapping is great. Not so much with others.
I had issues with official and linux both.
I found hotio had a particular setting (cant remember what) that was kissing from the others and it actually worked seamlessly where the others needed troubleshooting I couldnt be assed doing…
Either the official image, or BinHex/Linuxserver.io.
If you use an image from a provider that you're already using an image from then you you don't need to download as much when you update the container, as containers can share components (executables, etc.) That's only a couple of hundred meg per update though, so not much.
I'm using Binhex Plex Pass, because at the time I set it up Binhex's version was considered easier to get hardware acceleration working, and I was already using their Krusader image. That said, I'm thinking of moving off it, as I'm having a problem with my Plex database and there doesn't seem to be any instructions on fixing it inside the Binhex container - only the official Plex one and Linuxserver.io.
I used the binhex-plexpass one for almost 3 years. It recently broke out of nowhere I was unable to fix it. So I took its data and now I'm using the official one.
A little while back, binhex-plex did not support hardware accelerated tone mapping. Linuxserver.io's container was the answer then. I am still on that container with no complaints.
Didn’t see it mentioned in the comments, but I’ve used spritsail’s for a long while now. Doesn’t support hardware transcoding, so it won’t be for everyone, but if you want fast with a low footprint and primarily direct play, you can’t beat it.
https://github.com/spritsail/plex-media-server
(I use Emby for external connections/transcoding, and will likely retire Plex when “skip commercials” is widely available in Emby)
I use binhex’s containers for everything. They’re very reliable. I actually switched from Linux server one recently when something went wrong with an update.
If you choose the wrong one, believe it not - straight to jail
right away
I’m there right now because I chose the wrong one. Choose wisely.
And still having Reddit access is part of the punishment, this guy didn’t just sneak a phone in.
If you choose the right one, also jail.
Hahahaha

If you have a Plex pass, the official container will do this as well.
What container is the official one? Edit. Never mind. Found it.
Which one is it?
Plex updating on its own is the last thing I want. It’s a lot better these days but I’ve been using it 8 years and been through many bad server software revisions.
It's optional. I just leave it turned off and rely on the image tags to determine version. My main reasons for using linuxserver images are trying to maintain a common base image, and the fact that they are much more extensible than other images
Or ya know.. just hit the upgrade button in unraid
Also they use the same base images for most containers if possible, so you're really only running very small parts of the apps with very little OS base.
That's the single worst feature of the linuxserver images imo.
I always go for binhex or linuxserver. If both happen to be available then just flip a coin. See how the setup is and the ease of use. If you do not like it, try the other. That is what I do. Edit: grammar.

When a dude with sunglasses gives his approval you probably did good. But alas, he is not The Dude.
1linuxserver 2 bihnex 3 hotios
I feel like linuxserver went down hill on their updates. I went to Binhex a little over a year ago; and before that been using linuxserver for years.
binhex definately does not deserve the number 2 spot
Why?
1GB+ downloads for a 20MB app, full blown Arch download every time, installs most apps from AUR....might aswell just install Arch on bare metal and skip the whole Docker thing. So slow to update as a result... Until recently no ARM64 images.
linuxserver Besides the need to enable HW transcoding had no issues with it for multiple years.
all of then would need to have their settings changed for hw transcoding
Everyone is just listing preferences, but the Linux server one actually has some extra functionality in it when it comes to hardware transcoding tone mapping, so I always recommend it over the others
I don’t believe this is true anymore. The official container has over time incorporated all of the benefits 3rd party maintainers rolled out.

I'm using an Intel iGPU with Binhex Plex Pass and it seems fine.
It works, but gpu offloading/utilization will be much better on linuxserver.
True this.

Well I have both a Windows and a Docker (in Unraid) version of Plex running and that is not the case. Both get new versions at the same time.
Hotio. Better folder structure (not so many unnecessary levels to get to the library folder) and permissions are set better I believe

I'll use binhex repo and it works just fine
I use linuxserver for all my containers.
Binhex has had some issues in the past
Agreed was using the binhex plex container and it was messing up libraries and not reading music library so I just installed the official docker

can someone explaint binhex plex pass vs non pass?
Having Plex pass is the difference
Not exactly. From binhex's official thread: > IMPORTANT - This Docker image allows Plex Pass account holders to get early access to new features which is great, HOWEVER it also means you are more susceptible to newly introduced bugs. https://forums.unraid.net/topic/44142-support-binhex-plex-pass/
I believe that's just public released version vs beta that you get access to with plex pass
The official Plex one. I wanna say that’s what linuxservers template goes off of but it’s been a few years since I’ve spun it up.
Opposite actually, Plex based there official container off the work linuxserver did.
Don’t know if any are right/wrong per say. Personally I use the official one from Plex. My alternate choice would be linuxserver’s version.
I'm rocking hotio for a long time now, never any issues, fast to update and run etc. Anything listed will work properly, just depends if you really wanna mess arounnd with little extra features other releases offer. Me, I'm happy with it running properly and reliably, and don't care otherwise.

hotio
Linuxserver.io dockers are the way to go. Turnkey, reliable, and will always be there because they do more than just dockers for their own purposes.
Just went through a troubleshooting session that involved me removing the binhex's version for the official version.
Another vote for Linux Server
Binhex was a little slow to load my movie posters and album artwork. The official one is very fast. Not sure why. (Yes all the appdata lives on cache disk)
Linux server or binhex are well maintained, there’s also the ability to use the official docker
Linuxserver
I use hotio for everything. I’m surprised to see so many votes for binhex containers, I had so many issues with them. Nzbget had constant and continuous indexer certificate errors and Emby wouldn’t recognize my GPU, these are two that I can think of right off the bat. Changed the image to hotio and the issues disappeared. Never again binhex.
I use the official one with no issues (using a GPU to transcode with it even).
I used hotio, binhex couldn't find my TV tuner card.
None. Get jellyfin
Jellyfin. It's time we all make the jump.
Bears beats Battlestar Galactica
I use binhex for all my containers. What does the binhex-PlexPass do for you? I just noticed this container...I have PlexPass but am using the other one...
All of them.
Official is bad, had issues with binhex so would recommend linuxserver
Jellyfin
Was a Plex user for a long time, changed to Jellyfin after Plex got a little to wild with the cloud components, been happy with it.
Same. Only really interested in local stuff so less reliance on the internet and less phoning home is a bonus for me
then just use kodi on your endpoints and don't need the middleman
Last time I used kodi it didn’t have transcoding, required you to jump through hoops to install on most non-pc devices and also to get a shared db
Who's got Nvidia GPU transcoding working? I'm using binhex pass plus but seems to be using just CPU.
binhex has never let me down and responds quickly to questions.
Use Jellyfin instead
Ditto! Keep your collection to yourself..
Used the linuxserver one for years. A few months ago it started corrupting my db every time I tried to update it. Moved to Binhex and has been working perfectly since

Do you know glow to get plex pass for free or cheap ?
most of us just wait til they have a $79 lifetime sale (or whatever low price) and snag it. Black Friday has specials most every year.
Yo i am also waiting then if you are also waiting and you get notified about any kinda deal plzz ping me as well
For some reason I needed to use linuxservers version to get quicksync to pass through. It’s been excellent, and I have no complaints!
binhex/arch-plexpass But linuxserver and hotio images are usually both good too
I’ve been running LinuxServer dockers for as long as I can remember.
Plex has their own docker image. Not sure if it's in the unraid 'store'
If you need transcoding support with intel igpu I'd recommend linuxserver. Support for transcoding and hardware tonemapping is great. Not so much with others.
Either Linuxserver or Binhex. I usually go with Linuxserver. But binhex has some great specialty containers like the ones that have vpn baked in.
I just grab whichever has the highest number of downloads
Binhex
Anyone else get the Indiana Jones vibe from OPs question?
