After a few tries, I managed to get it to work with some ugly hacks. This requires the Plex server and clients to run on the same subnet which isn’t a configuration that Docker supports easily. While I managed to run applications like SABnzbd, Sick Beard, Couch Potato, and even rTorrent + ruTorrent among others with ease, Plex Media Server uses Avahi and it’s own GDM network discovery protocols to broadcast its existence to clients. It solves most of the problems I had with SmartOS including complicated backups and needing KVM for some applications which don’t run under Solaris zones.įor me, the biggest problem with Docker right now is that the networking support is inflexible. The ability to manage applications with a workflow similar to git is very attractive. Docker is the reason I switched from SmartOS back to Linux.
