From August 2018 onwards, Linuxserver are in the midst of switching to a new CI platform which will enable us to build and release multiple architectures under a single repo. To this end, existing images for `arm64` and `armhf` builds are being deprecated. They are replaced by a manifest file in each container which automatically pulls the correct image for your architecture. You'll also be able to pull based on a specific architecture tag.
TLDR: Multi-arch support is changing from multiple repos to one repo per container image.

[Plex](https://plex.tv) organizes video, music and photos from personal media libraries and streams them to smart TVs, streaming boxes and mobile devices. This container is packaged as a standalone Plex Media Server. has always been a top priority. Straightforward design and bulk actions mean getting things done faster.
*To All Arm Users* - Plex is currently transitioning to a new build system allowing everyone to ingest software releases for all popular architectures. In the mean time releases on this channel for armv7 and aarch64 will be frozen at a beta release version of 1.15, including plex pass users. For armv7 users that want a stable release please use our legacy repo [Here](https://hub.docker.com/r/lsioarmhf/plex) .
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](https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/docs/spec/manifest-v2-2.md#manifest-list).
Simply pulling `linuxserver/plex` should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
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.
*Special note* - If you'd like to run Plex without requiring `--net=host` (`NOT recommended`) then you will need the following ports in your `docker create` command:
The application accepts a series of environment variables to further customize itself on boot:
| Parameter | Function |
| :---: | --- |
| `-v /transcode` | Path for transcoding folder|
| `--device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri` | Add this option to your run command if you plan on using Quicksync hardware acceleration - see Application Setup section.|
## 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`.
** For new users, no updates will take place on the first run of the container as there is no preferences file to read your token from, to update restart the Docker container after logging in through the webui**
+ **`docker`**: Let Docker handle the Plex Version, we keep our Dockerhub Endpoint up to date with the latest public builds. This is the same as leaving this setting out of your create command.
+ **`public`**: will update plexpass users to the latest public version, useful for plexpass users that don't want to be on the bleeding edge but still want the latest public updates.
+ **`<specific-version>`**: will select a specific version (eg 0.9.12.4.1192-9a47d21) of plex to install, note you cannot use this to access plexpass versions if you do not have plexpass.
Hardware accelleration users for Intel Quicksync will need to mount their /dev/dri video device inside of the container by passing the following command when running or creating the container:
We automatically add the necessary environment variables that will use all available GPU's on the host. Once nvidia-docker is installed on your host you will need to just start the docker with the nvidia container runtime ```--runtime=nvidia```. NVIDIA automatically mounts the GPU and drivers from your host into the plex docker.
