Run Commands & Environment Variables
This table outlines the run commands and environment variables that can be utilized to customize the running of Plex Meta Manager to the user's requirements. Environment Variable values are used over Shell Command values.
If you run into a race condition where you have set an Environment Variable within your system and also use a Shell Command for the same attribute, then the Environment Variable will take priority.
These docs are assuming you have a basic understanding of Docker concepts. One place to get familiar with Docker would be the official tutorial.

Run Command Attribute Examples
Environment variables are expressed as KEY=VALUE
Depending on the context where you are specifying them, you may enter those two things in two different fields, or some other way. The examples below show how you would specify the environment variable in a script or a docker run
command. Things like Portainer or a NAS Docker UI will have different ways to specify these things.
