bogclay Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Hi. Since i don't want my child to have access to PG 13 movies on plex, i was wondering if it's possible to have two plex servers with docker? I could do it with a VM, but i would prefer to use docker. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
NAS Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 The abilty to do this is what docker is all about. Just make sure your config/volume fodlers or ports dont match and run the container twice... or 1000 times docker doesnt care Quote Link to comment
jumperalex Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I'm guessing this will require a second plexpass account. However I should ask: you do know that plex offers user profiles. I'm pretty sure it gives you full access over which media is part of a profile's library. So long as you have your media segregated into adult and kid-safe it should work. You'll have to do that anyway using two instances of plex. [shrug] i can't say which is ultimately easier to manage, but you might want to look into it. https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201106526-Configuring-Multi-User Quote Link to comment
binhex Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 One thing that MIGHT bite you in the ass is that the docker image for pms uses the --net="host" flag, what this means is that it uses the hosts nic directly as opposed to doing NAT bridged (default), unfortunately once you use this flag all the -p flags dictating the port are ignored so you wont be able to specify a different port number for your second docker container. correct me if im wrong guys. edit - looks like its actually bridged not nat by default.

bogclay Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 I tried to set up another plex server to a different container and config folder and with a bridge setup but it keeps directing me to the first plex server. I ended up to just to share the media folders to another plex account. Just wanted the kid to have control her own plex server. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment
