Docker-Plex-Auto-Collections

A Docker image to run the Plex-Auto-Collections script. This is intended to run the script on a schedule to create Collections from dynamic lists like an IMDB Most Popular Search. Since the image server isn't needed for that, the script is set to run with the --noserver option.

Discussion

TBD

Starting a container

docker run --name Plex-Auto-Collections \
        --mount type=bind,source=<path to data>,target=/config \
        --mount type=bind,source=/etc/localtime,destination=/etc/localtime,readonly \
        xawen/plex-auto-collections

Configuration

Edit the config.yml file in your data directory. Instructions for the file are on the script web site above.

The container will create a cron job that will run once per day (3am). To run the script manually: Once the container is running, get the container ID

$ docker ps

Then, open a shell into it:

$ docker exec -it <contaner ID> bash

Then execute the script manually:

$ cd /opt/plex-auto-collections
$ python3 ./plex-auto-collections.py --update --noserver
