I currently use an Ubuntu distro (Mint) with Plex installed serving media to my local network. I installed docker last night so I can test out some photo hosting services.

Is there a benefit to running Plex through docker vs the traditional method?

You might want to look at how you’re backing up. Something like BorgBackup or better RSync scripts would benefit this process by only taking differences instead of a full backup. Unless you’re constantly adding and deleting media daily, a weekly Plex backup shouldn’t really take a long time.
