Plex containerized, with NFS mounts!

OMG! — Tue, 27 Apr 2021 21:02:46 +0000

In this episode, I’ll show you how to properly mount NFS shares directly inside your container config, rather than from the underlying host! This moves the mount dependency of your container stack in to your defined configuration file, and is one less thing your underlying hosts need to do, making your Docker hosts more vanilla and stateless. Check it out! Below is the example code.
