Running Plex in docker (lemmy.ca)

I currently use an Ubuntu distro (Mint) with Plex installed serving media to my local network. I installed docker last night so I can test out some photo hosting services.

Is there a benefit to running Plex through docker vs the traditional method?

Docker containers are easier to backup and restore since the config folder is easily accessible. Also if your plex server is accessible to the internet it will be harder for hackers to take it over if there's any possible exploits.

Plex is the last thing I don't have in docker. Will be my next task .. maybe. I still want to get rid of my friends windows 10 box running 1 windows only app
