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?

I do tar it first (actually I tar my entire docker share), but it still takes longer than I would like.

Just the way my backup system works, All my docker containers go down while I'm backing them up, so it's a bit of a minor inconvenience (even though it only happens on off peak hours in the middle of the night)

Really not a big problem, just thought I'd check if you had a better solution.
