Automated torrenting and Plex Docker image, for Pi setup? (lemm.ee)

I started with XMBC then Kodi then Plex on a succession of Raspberry Pis. Then, four years ago, I switched to running Plex on a Shield Pro.

Now, I am trying to pick up enough Linux and Docker knowledge to be able to set up a Plex server, just for video, with automated RSS torrent management, running in Docker on an 8GB Raspberry Pi 4 running Raspbian Bullseye.

I am not a technologist by trade, so hoping to find a Docker image that enables that without needing a lot of additional Linux plumbing to make it work. I am old and mostly rely on rudimentary UNIX skills left over from the late-'80s.

Thanks for considering!

I have limited grasp of transcoding, but there are just a few of us hitting the Plex server, and everyone is using Roku TVs or Roku boxes, which I thought were generally okay with most current file encodings, but maybe I have that wrong.

You should be fine as long as you aren't trying to play 4k, there is an additional feature where you can disable transcoding as an option in Plex.

Check out this guide if you want to go down the docker rabbit hole.

I’m def going down it, thanks! Bought a couple of Docker books and am watching intro videos now.

I think you want portainer, sonarr, radarr, prowlarr and qbittorrent

Thank you! My challenge right now is grasping how to get them to talk to each other in Docker.
