PlexRemoteTranscoderOrchestrator
Application that let us to execute Plex Transcoding in DigitalOcean Droplets.
Inspired by wnielson/Plex-Remote-Transcoder
This application is part of a group of dockers that allow us to setup very easy a Plex Server with Remote Transcoding automatically configured.
This is the Web Server Orchestrator that control what virtual machines is running and provide to Plex Main server the differents machines.
What we need?
- Plex Server
- Web Orchestrator(this application)
- SMB server(maybe we could change it and use something better)
The Web Orchestrator require have access to media files and need to be visible from Internet.
If you don't want to compile you don't need because I will create a docker with all preinstalled.

TODO
- Remote Transcoding Working
- Do the application more parametrizable
- Prepare Plex Wrapper Transcoder for Docker use
- Create Docker
- Extend Plex Docker with Plex Transcoder Wrapper
- Create Docker Compose to do an automatic Plex Remote Transcoding with few parameters
- Refactor Application to allow more microserver providers(Amazon,Google Cloud)
