As a huge fan of Plex and it's community and huge fan of Docker and it's community I figure - why not combine these two awesome things ?!!
Plex Remote Transcoder is here: https://github.com/wnielson/Plex-Remote-Transcoder
Instructions for deploying to Ubuntu are here: https://github.com/wnielson/Plex-Remote-Transcoder/wiki/Ubuntu-Install
Tim Haan's Plex Server container is here: https://github.com/timhaak/docker-plex
The initial goal would be to create a (relatively) simple container that abstracts Tim's container, adding requirements for PRT, and then build a second container for the slaves.
Here's the action-plan as I see it:
- Setup NFS mount on Plex Server Host
- Add Plex UID and GID for NFS on Host
- Start Plex Server container mounting the config and data volumes from NFS
- Setup NFS mount on PRT Slave Host
- Add Plex UID and GID for NFS to match Host
- Start PRT Slave container mounting the config and data volumes from NFS
