Duplex 📺🚀

Welcome to Duplex—your backstage pass to running a star-studded Plex Media Server on Synology NAS! Think of it as your assistant director for managing all the Docker magic behind your media empire. 🎬

Overview 📋

☠️ Rumor has it there's hidden treasure in these waters... 🦜🏴‍☠️

The docker-compose.yml script sets the scene for running your Plex Media Server on Synology NAS. It's like having a sitcom cast of helpful apps for metadata, cleaning, monitoring, and auto-updating—always ready for their cue.

For a deeper dive into the Docker Compose configuration, check out the Docker Compose file in this repository.

• 📄 View docker-compose.yml

Included Tools 🛠️

Here's the cast list—starring the finest apps to keep your Plex show running smoother than a perfect cold open:

Tool	Description	More Info
Kometa ✨	Turns your Plex into a blockbuster.	Wiki
ImageMaid 🧼	Scrubs your Plex images till they shine.	Wiki
Overlay Reset 🧹	Wipes away old overlays like a reboot.	Repo
PATTRMM 📅	Schedules chores so you don't have to.	Repo
Tautulli 📊	Spies on your Plex binge habits.	Repo
Notifiarr 🔔	Blasts you with updates before drama hits.	Repo
Watchtower 🛠️	Updates containers while you sleep.	Repo

Note

Overlay Reset is included as a separate docker compose deployment in config/overlay-reset. It can be deployed separately using the same steps in the Deploying with Container Manager section.

Usage 🚀

Clone the Project to Your Synology NAS 🎬

Lights, camera, action! First, grab the project and all its star performers (submodules included) to your Synology NAS. Use the command below to ensure you include all the necessary submodules:

Note

🎬 The Kometa configuration files are spun off into their own spinoff series: kometa-config. It's included here as a submodule at config/kometa—so don't skip that --recurse-submodules magic trick.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/scottgigawatt/duplex.git /volume1/docker/duplex

Managing Docker Config Environment Variables 🧩

Every great production needs a script. Copy the example .env files and tweak them so your Docker cast hits their marks perfectly.

• 📄 View example.env
• 📄 View config/imagemaid/example.env

cp example.env .env
cp config/imagemaid/example.env config/imagemaid/.env

# Edit as needed
vim .env
vim config/imagemaid/.env

Tip

Want to override these variables on the fly? Just do it on the command line when starting the Docker Compose stack:

KOMETA_TAG="nightly" docker-compose up -d

🎬 Critical Setup Briefing 🍿

Important

🎞️ In a world where containers rise and networks clash...

Make sure you read the Docker Project Setup guide! It covers the essential plot points: configuring Docker networking, fine-tuning Synology settings, locking down the firewall, and launching your app stack with Container Manager. Miss it, and your production might never make it to opening night.

The Docker Project Setup script features:

• 🌍🔧 Configuring Docker Networking
• 🖥️⚙️ Synology Configuration
  • 🔥🛡️ Updating Firewall Settings
  • 📦🚀 Deploying With Container Manager

Don't be the hero who forgets their training montage. Read the guide. Save the project. 🎥
