Run Plex and Emby Together

[JayV]

Hey all! I used YAMS to set up a Plex server on my Pi 4 a while ago and have been loving it. Plex has always felt like the easiest to set up and stream from anywhere without trying to learn port forwarding, VPN, or any of that stuff. They recently announced that remote streaming is going to become a PlexPass only feature soon, and I don't really want to add another subscription. I want to give Emby a try before I make the complete switch and risk creating a lot of clean up work for myself. Is there a clean way to install Emby alongside Plex w/ Yams or should I add it as a custom container? I also noticed that Emby's compose file uses the same ports as Plex's and I don't want to mess those up since I don't fully understand them to begin with lol. Any help is appreciated!

Hey @JayV!

You can add Emby or Jellyfin by using https://yams.media/advanced/add-your-own-containers/. You can pick up the compose here:

• https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-jellyfin/
• https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-emby/

Cheers!

Roger.

I appreciate the response! Does anything get messed up if both Plex and Emby containers have:

Code: Select all

ports:
      - 8096:8096

You must choose a different host port (the left side of the :). Other than that, it should work without issue!
