When the command has completed you should be able to see Plex running in the list of containers in the Synology GUI. Then we are going to instruct Docker Compose to read the file we created and complete the set-up of the container.
#PLEX MAC MINI HARDWARE DECODING PASSWORD#
Once you have logged in you will need to give 2 commands, you can copy and paste these one at a time - you will need to enter your password for the command starting with ‘sudo’įirst we are going to change directory to where the plex.yml is located, type the below and then press enter. It’s time to get logged into you Diskstation via SSH, you can do this in the same way as when you obtained your IDs in the ‘ Setting up a restricted Docker user‘ guide. You need to change the ‘File name’ to plex.yml and save it in the ‘plex’ folder We now need to save this file into our docker share.Ĭlick on File then Save As, navigate to the ‘Docker’ share and create a new folder called ‘plex’ (lower case) Your final file should look similar to the one shown below.
I have pre-filled this section to pass the correct paths, the only thing that you may need to change is the /volume1/ if your file paths are on a different volume. We can now pass through our file paths into the container they are mounted using the volume’s section of the compose file. When you created your docker user you would have noted down these IDs add these to the compose file in the ‘environment:’ section Volumes We need to make some changes in order for the container to have the correct permissions to save its configuration files and to have access to your media. You can now copy and paste the details below into the new text file, it is important you don’t change the spacing as YAML has to be formatted correctly in order to be read by Docker Compose. Open up Text Editor and click on File then New to start a new file.
#PLEX MAC MINI HARDWARE DECODING INSTALL#
Install Text Editor from the Package Center The next steps can be done either using a code/text editor such as Notepad++ or to keep things simple for this guide we will be using the Synology Text Editor which can be installed from the Package Center. In a nutshell we will be creating a text file (YAML formatted) which tells Docker exactly how we want to set up a specific container. We will be using Docker Compose to set up the Plex container. Step 2: Setting up a restricted Docker user.If you find that Quick Sync is not available on your model you can jump back over to the standard guide here Lets BeginĪs usual, it’s important you complete the two proceeding guides which will get your folder structure and docker, user setup. If we then look up the j4125 on the Intel site we can see it is capable of Quick Sync Quick Sync is Available (If you are using a new model with a Ryzen v1500b it does not have hardware transcode capabilities)įor example the DS920+ has an Intel Celeron j4125 You need to do a quick lookup via the two pages below, on the first one, find your NAS model then on the Intel site lookup it’s CPU specifications. Does my Synology support Hardware Transcoding?īefore we do anything else, you need to make sure your model of Synology has Intel Quick Sync. if you don’t have one you can either follow this guide or jump over to the non hardware transcoding version. You will only benefit from hardware transcoding if you have an active Plex Pass either monthly or lifetime. However, don’t freak out as it’s not that difficult! Plex Pass In this guide I am going to take you through the setup of Plex in Docker using Docker Compose.Īs of writing the Synology UI does not have the capability of passing through specific hardware to a container, this means we will need to set up Plex via SSH (terminal). Updated Environment Variables to ensure server is updating to latest version
