Plex config - shyonae/selfhosted-anime GitHub Wiki

Initial configuration

Once the container is up and running, create an account and proceed with the creation of your media folders based on your container volumes:

Create as many as you need and don't touch anything else, we'll come back to it.


ShokoMetadata install

The team over at Shoko has a very good written guide on how to install this plugin (needs to be installed manually), I'll compile the commands you need to execute here (these commands assume you're following the guide piece by piece, if you're not then please modify them accordingly):

docker exec -it --user=1000 plex /bin/sh
export PLEX_HOME="/config/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server"
cd "${PLEX_HOME}/Plug-ins"
curl -L https://github.com/Cazzar/ShokoMetadata.bundle/archive/master.tar.gz | tar -xzf -
mv ShokoMetadata.bundle-master ShokoMetadata.bundle
mkdir -p "${PLEX_HOME}/Scanners"
cp -R ShokoMetadata.bundle/Contents/Resources/* ../Scanners/

With your favourite text editor, modify these two files so they match your Shoko installation:

"${PLEX_HOME}/Scanners/Series/Shoko Series Scanner.py"
"${PLEX_HOME}/Scanners/Movies/Shoko Movie Scanner.py"
  • If unsure on how to move, can now follow the guide written here to configure your libraries to use the newly installed plugin and you should be done!

You can now watch your stuff in peace.
