FlexConnect - A Helper for Flex TV

digitalhigh/flexconnect

FlexConnect is a python based web application for monitoring, analytics and control of Plex Media Server.

Supported Architectures

Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling digitalhigh/flexconnect should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

Architecture	Tag
x86-64	amd64-latest
arm64	arm64v8-latest
armhf	arm32v7-latest

Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.

docker

docker create \
  --name=FlexConnect \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -v <path to data>:/app \
  -v <path to plex data>:/plex \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  --network=host \
  digitalhigh/flexconnect

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---

version: "2" services: flexconnect: image: digitalhigh/flexconnect container_name: flexconnect environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=Europe/London volumes: - :/app - :/plex restart: unless-stopped network_mode: "host"

## Parameters

Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate `<external>:<internal>` respectively. For example, `-p 8080:80` would expose port `80` from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port `8080` outside the container.

| Parameter | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `-e PUID=1000` | for UserID - see below for explanation |
| `-e PGID=1000` | for GroupID - see below for explanation |
| `-e TZ=Europe/London` | Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London. |
| `-v /app` | Contains flexconnect files. |
| `-v /plex` | Map this to Plex data directory - recommended RO. |

## User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (`-v` flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user `PUID` and group `PGID`.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance `PUID=1000` and `PGID=1000`, to find yours use `id user` as below:

$ id username uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
