Question -- should I run Plex Debrid in Docker if I don't run Plex in Docker?

[boyleastlikely]

Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I want to tinker with Plex Debrid on my Synology 920+ and I'm not sure if I should follow the Docker instructions or the Linux instructions.

I run pretty much everything in Docker, except Plex. I run Plex natively. Does that mean I should not run Plex Debrid in Docker?
Or does it not make a difference?

Thanks for the help.

This isn't exactly what you are asking, but it might help. I was a little confused on something similar when I implemented it. I have just about everything running on Unraid Docker on Machine A and Plex running directly from Ubuntu on Machine B. My first attempt was to run RClone & Plex Debrid in Dockers on Machine A. The streaming experience was terrible. I'm assuming because of the latency introduced by having the RClone on Machine A and running Plex from Machine B. I'm not sure if running PD in a Docker contributed at all. Using the Linux instructions and installing it directly on the same machine with Plex (both RClone and Plex Debrid) made it much better.

This is helpful, thank you. My gut does tell me to install it directly on my NAS using the Linux instructions, since my Plex is also running natively (non-Docker). Although I'm probably overthinking it -- I have other Docker apps interacting with Plex (deluge, sonarr, radarr, bazarr, etc). So I'm guessing even if I run Plex Debrid in Docker, it should have no issues communicating with my non-Docker Plex. I'll experiment. Thanks again!
