Soon after setting up Plex using these instructions, I was informed that Plex had an update available. In the Windows world, I would just choose to update within the Plex interface and everything would be taken care of. On the NAS, however, that does not occur. So, I did some reading and used Docker to perform the update, however, after it finished and restarted, the previous container was deleted and a new one added. As a result, I had to re-claim my Plex server and re-configure the media folders within Plex along with my settings. I do have a /Data and /Configure folder on my NAS to where that information should be saved. I did see something indicating that if I stopped the container and restarted, it would automatically update to the latest version. Can you confirm this and if not, how can I perform Plex updates without having to go through a re-configuration each time. Thank you!
