# linuxserver/plexpy

[Plexpy](https://github.com/drzoidberg33/plexpy/) Is a Python-based Plex Usage tracker, that is currently in active development.

## Usage

```
docker create \ 
  --name=plexpy \
  -v <path to data>:/config \
  -v <path to plexlogs>:/logs:ro \
  -e PGID=<gid> -e PUID=<uid>  \
  -e TZ=<timezone> \
  -p 8181:8181 \
  linuxserver/plexpy
```

**Parameters**

* `-p 8181` - Port for webui
* `-v /config` Containes plexpy config and database
* `-v /logs` Map this to PLex Media servers log directory - bonus points for mapping RO
* `-e PGID` for GroupID - see below for explanation
* `-e PUID` for UserID - see below for explanation
* `-e TZ` for setting timezone information, eg Europe/London

It is based on alpine linux with s6 overlay, for shell access whilst the container is running do `docker exec -it plexpy /bin/bash`.

### User / Group Identifiers

Sometimes when using data volumes (`-v` flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user `PUID` and group `PGID`. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.

In this instance `PUID=1001` and `PGID=1001`. To find yours use `id user` as below:

```
  $ id <dockeruser>
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)
```

## Info

* To monitor the logs of the container in realtime `docker logs -f plexpy`.

## Versions

+ **08.08.16:** Rebase to alpine linux.
+ **16.07.15:** Inital Release.
