[Plex-meta-manager](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager) is a Python 3 script that can be continuously run using YAML configuration files to update on a schedule the metadata of the movies, shows, and collections in your libraries as well as automatically build collections based on various methods all detailed in the wiki.
We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker [here](https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/docs/spec/manifest-v2-2.md#manifest-list) and our announcement [here](https://blog.linuxserver.io/2019/02/21/the-lsio-pipeline-project/).
Simply pulling `lscr.io/linuxserver/plex-meta-manager:latest` should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
There is a [walkthrough](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager/wiki/Docker-Walkthrough#setting-up-the-initial-config-file) available to help get you up and running.
This image supports all of the environment variables listed [here](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager/wiki/Run-Commands-&-Environmental-Variables)
To perform a one-time run use `docker run` (or `docker-compose run`) with the `--rm` and `-e PMM_RUN=True` arguments. This will cause the container to process your config immediately instead of waiting for the scheduled time, and delete the old container after completion.
Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate `<external>:<internal>` respectively. For example, `-p 8080:80` would expose port `80` from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port `8080` outside the container.
### Ports (`-p`)
| Parameter | Function |
| :----: | --- |
### Environment Variables (`-e`)
| Env | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `PUID=1000` | for UserID - see below for explanation |
| `PGID=1000` | for GroupID - see below for explanation |
| `TZ=Europe/London` | Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London. |
| `PMM_CONFIG=/config/config.yml` | Specify a custom config file to use. |
| `PMM_TIME=03:00` | Comma-separated list of times to update each day. Format: `HH:MM`. |
| `PMM_RUN=False` | Set to `True` to run without the scheduler. |
| `PMM_TEST=False` | Set to `True` to run in debug mode with only collections that have `test: true`. |
| `PMM_NO_MISSING=False` | Set to `True` to run without any of the missing movie/show functions. |
### Volume Mappings (`-v`)
| Volume | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `/config` | Local path for plex-meta-manager config files. |
#### Miscellaneous Options
| Parameter | Function |
| :-----: | --- |
## Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend `FILE__`.
As an example:
```bash
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword
```
Will set the environment variable `PASSWORD` based on the contents of the `/run/secrets/mysecretpassword` file.
## Umask for running applications
For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional `-e UMASK=022` setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask) before asking for support.
## User / Group Identifiers
When using volumes (`-v` flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user `PUID` and group `PGID`.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance `PUID=1000` and `PGID=1000`, to find yours use `id user` as below:

We publish various [Docker Mods](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-mods) to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
## Support Info
* Shell access whilst the container is running:
*`docker exec -it plex-meta-manager /bin/bash`
* To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
*`docker logs -f plex-meta-manager`
* Container version number
*`docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' plex-meta-manager`
