PlexCache-D WIKI Home

Welcome to the PlexCache wiki! This is your ultimate resource for understanding and making the most out of PlexCache-D, a powerful tool to automate your Plex media file management.

Migrating data from previous version?

Once you have installed the docker container, you can then migrate much of your data from the script version of PlexCache. Go to the Migration help page for some additional details.

Throughout this WIKI, anything that specifies PlexCache-R is referring to any version of PlexCache that is being run using the userscript method. The new dockerised version will be referred to as PlexCache-D.

Need Assistance?

This project has been designed and tested for Unraid. Though I've made a lot of alterations and improvements, so all the edge-cases have almost certainly not been ironed out yet. Please leave a post in 'Issues' and let me know if anything breaks or throws an error.

It might work on other linux-based systems, and maybe even other operating systems, but I haven't tested any of it. If you do test it yourself, and come across any issues, let me know and I'll see what I can do to improve things. No guarantees though, I'm more focused on the Unraid implementation for now.

Installing PlexCache-D

To install PlexCache-D as a docker container, see Installing PlexCache-D

To install PlexCache-D using the old method of running it as a userscript, you can follow Installing PlexCache-R - Work in Progress


Notes

  1. Log files are saved in a subfolder of your plexcache directory called 'logs'. Imaginative I know.
  2. For the unraid_mover_exclusions.txt to work, you need to add it to Mover Tuner as an exception text file. You can manually add custom entries to this file, as long as you add them above the marker line ("### Plexcache exclusions below this line")
