* `-v` /config - Plex library location. *This can grow very large, 50gb+ is likely for a large collection.*
* `-v` /data/xyz - Media goes here. Add as many as needed e.g. `/data/movies`, `/data/tv`, etc.
* `-e` PLEXPASS=1 - Set to 1 if you have a Plex Pass, if not don't specify it.
* `-e` PGID for for GroupID
* `-e` PUID for for UserID
* `-e` PGID for for GroupID - see below for explanation
* `-e` PUID for for UserID - see below for explanation
### User / Group Identifiers
Part of what makes our containers work so well is by allowing you to specify your own `PUID` and `PGID`. This avoids nasty permissions errors with relation to data volumes (`-v` flags). When an application is installed on the host OS it is normally added to the common group called users, Docker apps due to the nature of the technology can't be added to this group.
In summary the `PGID` and `PUID` values set the user / group you'd like your container to 'run as' to the host OS. This can be a user you've created or even root (not recommended).
#### unRAID notes
If you wish to run this container on unRAID use the following values:
* `-e PUID=99` (nobody)
* `-e PGID=100` (users)
