## Claim your server
When running Plex on a docker `bridge` network, you can't just get to the webui and start configuring it, you'll need to claim it first. Go to [plex.tv/claim](https://www.plex.tv/claim){ target="_blank" rel="noopener" } and login with your account, copy the claim token and add it to the environment variable like this `-e PLEX_CLAIM_TOKEN="claim-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"`. When starting the new plex server for the first time, the server will be added to your account.
## Plex Beta
If you are a Plex Pass subscriber, you can enable the install of beta builds with `-e PLEX_BETA_INSTALL="true"`. When the container starts, a version check is done for the latest beta and installed if a newer version is found.
## Environment variables PLEX_ADVERTISE_URL and PLEX_NO_AUTH_NETWORKS
The variables correspond to the below plex network settings.
The variable `PLEX_ADVERTISE_URL` is useful to aid your local clients in discovering your plex server when running in the `bridge` network mode. Most likely you would use something like `http://192.168.0.10:32400`. You could use `PLEX_NO_AUTH_NETWORKS` when you're locked out and need to regain access without providing credentials.
## Hardware Transcoding
All the usual hardware accelerated transcoding is supported.
## Getting a token
The following command will interactively ask for your credentials and give you a token. If you don't use 2FA, just press enter.
```shell
docker run --rm -it --entrypoint="" hotio/plex bash /app/get-token.sh
```
## TOP secret stuff
If you do `-e PLEX_BETA_INSTALL="https://..."`, stuff happens for which no support will be given.
