Plex

Plex is a powerful media server that organizes your personal media libraries — movies, TV shows, music, photos, and more — and streams them to any device. This stack uses the LinuxServer.io Plex image, which provides a well-maintained container with regular updates and sensible defaults. Plex automatically fetches metadata, artwork, and descriptions for your media, organizes collections, and provides personalized recommendations. It supports hardware-accelerated transcoding, multi-user accounts with managed sharing, offline sync (with Plex Pass), and live TV with DVR support. Separate volumes are configured for server configuration, transcoding cache, and media files. After deployment, access the web UI on port 32400/web to sign in with your Plex account and claim the server. Set PLEX_CLAIM from https://plex.tv/claim for automatic server claiming.
