## Plex
This example provides a base setup for using [Plex](https://www.plex.tv/).
More details on how to customize the installation and the compose file can be found in [linuxserver documentation](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-plex).
Alternatively, you can use different plex images (e.g. official plex image by [plexinc](https://github.com/plexinc/pms-docker))
Project structure:
```
.
├── .env
├── compose.yaml
└── README.md
```
[_compose.yaml_](compose.yaml)
``` yaml
services:
plex:
image: linuxserver/plex:latest
```
## Configuration
### .env
Before deploying this setup, you need to configure the following values in the [.env](.env) file.
- PLEX_MEDIA_PATH
### Hardware Acceleration
Check out the description for Hardware Acceleration support in the [documentation](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-plex).
## Deploy with docker compose
When deploying this setup, the web interface will be available on port 32400 (e.g. http://localhost:32400/web).
``` shell
$ docker compose up -d
Starting plex ... done
```
## Expected result
Check containers are running:
```
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
62fc3ff1f1a0 linuxserver/plex:latest "/init" 38 seconds ago Up 3 seconds plex
```
Navigate to `http://localhost:32400/web` in your web browser to access the plex web interface.
Stop the containers with
``` shell
$ docker compose down
# To delete all data run:
$ docker compose down -v
```
