Parameters¶

  • HOSTNAME Sets the hostname inside the docker container. For example -h PlexServer will set the servername to PlexServer. Not needed in Host Networking.
  • TZ Set the timezone inside the container. For example: Europe/London. The complete list can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
  • PLEX_CLAIM The claim token for the server to obtain a real server token. If not provided, server will not be automatically logged in. If server is already logged in, this parameter is ignored. You can obtain a claim token to login your server to your plex account by visiting https://www.plex.tv/claim
  • ADVERTISE_IP This variable defines the additional IPs on which the server may be found. For example: http://10.1.1.23:32400. This adds to the list where the server advertises that it can be found. This is only needed in Bridge Networking.
