Migration from old versions

Once you have setup/installed the Docker container for Plexcache-D, you can then migrate a lot of your information from the CLI script version by doing the following:

Migrating from CLI Version

If you're migrating from the CLI version:

1. Copy your CLI files to /mnt/user/appdata/plexcache-d/import/:

   • plexcache_settings.json
   • unraid_mover_exclusions.txt (or plexcache_mover_files_to_exclude.txt)
   • data/ folder (timestamps, trackers, etc.)

2. Start the container and access the Setup Wizard

3. The wizard will detect your import files and offer to migrate them automatically

4. After import, verify your Plex connection (URL may differ in Docker)

Migrating from the Alpha-Test Docker Version

If you're migrating from the Brandon 'Alpha' test version:

1. Open up (edit) your docker container composer

2. Change the repo to - ghcr.io/studionirin/plexcache-d:latest

3. I changed the container name to plexcache-d and also the appdata folder to plexcache-d but you don't need to do either of these things really. If you do change the folder name make sure to also change the reference in the container compose file.

4. Hit apply and everything should just work.
