Running Plex in docker (self.plex)

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?

Yeah, that's because every little file and image need to be stored, and there's tens of thousands of them. Nothing wrong with it, just will take time. I usually do my plex DB on a weekly cron in the middle of the night
