⁠plex-db-sync

Synchronizes the database watched status between two Plex servers. This includes watched times, and works for all users on the system without the need for tokens.

This is a fork of the Fmstrat/plex-db-sync with focus specifically on Docker usage.

⁠Deployment

Docker deployment examples.

⁠Docker

The following example is for docker. It assumes you are running one Plex server locally (via Docker container), and another remotely (also via Docker container). Use --privileged if presented with "permssion denied" errors when mounting the remote host. Note: Paths are default to PGBlitz⁠.

docker run -d \
--name=plex-db-sync \
--hostname=plex-db-sync \
--restart=unless-stopped \
--device /dev/fuse \
--cap-add SYS_ADMIN \
--security-opt apparmor:unconfined \
-e BACKUP=false \
-e DEBUG=false \
-e INITIALRUN=false \
-e DRYRUN=false \
-e CRON="0 4 * * *" \
-e REMOTE_SSH_KEY=/sshkey \
-e REMOTE_SSH_USER=root \
-e REMOTE_SSH_HOST=hostname \
-e REMOTE_SSH_PORT=22 \
-e REMOTE_DB_PATH="/opt/appdata/plex/database/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Databases" \
-e REMOTE_STOP="docker stop plex" \
-e REMOTE_START="docker start plex" \
-e LOCAL_PATH_IS_SSH=false \
-e LOCAL_PLEX_NAME=plex \
-e LOCAL_DB_PATH="/mnt/DB2" \
-e LOCAL_STOP="'curl --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock -X POST http://localhost/containers/plex/stop'" \
-e LOCAL_START="'curl --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock -X POST http://localhost/containers/plex/start'" \
-v "/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa:/sshkey" \
-v "/opt/appdata/plex/database/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Databases:/mnt/DB2" \
-v "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock" \
-v "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro" \
