Plex

Good afternoon. I have already installed my Plex server on an LXC and don't want to install it again using YAMS. I'm still quite new to all this so need to know how to install everything in the YAMS apps list EXCEPT any media player (plex, jellyfish, ember etc). Will this affect any of the auto configuation?

Hey @Faisbook!

You can just install YAMS as usual with Jellyfin instead, and then comment it out in the docker-compose file. The full steps are:

  • Install YAMS, answer "jellyfin" in the media server section and finish the install
  • Once YAMS is running, run yams stop
  • Edit your docker-compose file located in /your/install/location/docker-compose.yaml and comment (or delete!) all the jellyfin configuration
  • Run yams start

Now you should be running everything except for Jellyfin in this case. You can now delete the Jellyfin container safely.

Make sure your YAMS media directory is also accessible to your Plex LXC so you can find your shows and movies.

Cheers!

Roger.
