This is a quick walkthrough of setting up the Plex-Meta-Manager Docker container in the QNAP "Container Station" UI.
Steps.
The "Container Station" UI on your QNAP may differ from these screenshots, but the concepts are the same:
1. Create a container based on the `meisnate12/plex-meta-manager` image.
2. Set environment variables to control the container's behavior [optional].
3. Point the container to the directory where your configuration files are to be stored.
Detailed steaps:
1. Open Container Station; click "Create" in the left column.

2. Change the container name if you wish.
Command line arguments can be entered in the "Entrypoint" field after `/tini -s python3 plex_meta_manager.py --` IMPORTANT: DO NOT REMOVE ANY ELEMENT OF THAT COMMAND.
Command line arguments can be entered in the "Entrypoint" field after `/tini -s python3 plex_meta_manager.py --`
IMPORTANT: **DO NOT REMOVE** ANY ELEMENT OF THAT TEXT. DO NOT ENTER ANYTHING INTO THE "Command" FIELD.
For example: `/tini -s python3 plex_meta_manager.py -- --run`
For example, you could enter the following into the "Entrypoint" field to make PMM run immediately when the container starts up: `/tini -s python3 plex_meta_manager.py -- --run`

Typically, in a Docker environment, this sort of thing is done via Environment Variables [the next step here]. Editing the "Entrypoint" is not recommended, as it's easy to render the container non-functional if you are not sure what you're doing.

3. Environment Variables can be added here:
Anything you can do via command-line arguments can be done with Environment Variables, which is more typical in Docker environments.
For example, you could add an environment variable named `PMM_RUN` with a value of `True` to make PMM run immediately when the container starts up.
